Leaving Bauer in was a head-scratcher, but the biggest managing goof I'm seeing this postseason is intentionally walking guys in non-leverage situations - and then those guys come around to score. Two of Houston's runs today were guys intentionally walked, although that didn't end up making a difference to the outcome. Yesterday the Dodgers IBB'ed Culberson in the SECOND INNING, and he comes around to score, and that run did end up making the difference. I know managers want to be seen to be doing everything humanly possible to win a postseason game, but sometimes less is more when it comes to baseball tactics.
