The Seattle Mariners lost to the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday afternoon and while it wasn't the only thing that hurt them, the decision by Scott Servais in the 10th inning was indefensible. Here's why:
Now, this game was a full-fledged failure by the Mariners. Starting pitcher George Kirby failed to go six innings, the offense stranded countless runners, Mitch Garver went 0-for-5 and stranded several runners all by himself, not to mention that Jorge Polanco and Gregory Santos left the game with injury.
Devers came to the plate in the bottom of the 10th inning of a 2-2 game with a runner on second and nobody out. Servais elected to pitch to Devers, who hit a walk-off double to win the game. Why did he not intentionally walk him? Your guess is as good as mine. Again, it's not the only thing that lost the game for Seattle, but it was an indefensible decision and one that led our talk on Friday's edition of the "Refuse to Lose" podcast.
