Dale Sveum is not very bright. That is the only explanation I can think of for intentionally walking Shane Victorino last night in the fourth inning. So Sabathia could face Chase Utley and subsequently Ryan Howard. I understand that the Flyin' Hawaiian is a switch hitter and Utley is a left-handed batter, but this move is nonetheless idiotic. As you can see in the above photograph, he doesn't even know how to run the bases*. How is this guy in charge of the on-field operations for a baseball team?
As it is, of course, Ryan Howard struck out with the bases loaded and Sveum doesn't look like a dumbass. If the sun shines on every dog's ass once in a while, then I guess that it'll shine on a horse's ass sometimes, too.
*this is a joke.
