Should the Rays have walked the bases loaded for Brad Boxberger?

in Sports/Top Headlines by

It’s an ugly dilemma. But what should the Tampa Bay Rays have done in an awful situation. All-Star reliever Brad Boxberger was on the mound. The winning run was at third. No one was out. The Rays chose to walk Jose Abreu and Melky Cabrera to try to set up a double play. It didn’t work. After reaching a 1-1 count, Boxberger walked Avisail Garcia on three pitchers to force home the winning run. Rays’ manager Kevin Cash said he…
