Not walking Chipper Jones, one of greatest clutch hitters in history, who is MURDER batting left against a righty, and has a history of walk off HRS and is BigTime Hall of Fame was one the dumbest non-calls in Manuel's history.
If it was Howard left against right, same situation, Braves WALK-HIM.
Far better to load the bases.
Also Franksen made a HIDEOUS PLAY! that was called a 2-run double---it was an error all the way.
If you see replay you will see a perfect example of how NOT to play 3rd base--it was a play you expect in the little league and Not in majors,
Jones does what in does best, in the clutch crushes a low fast ball from Pabelbon-- so what if you load the bases!!! A HR already would beat you.
Manuel blew it. Max
