Tony La Russa made a moronic move sticking with Aaron Rowand with 2 outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th with a 1-run game. It's undebatable. I'm fine with La Russa holding back Albert Pujols because of his versatility. If someone got hurt, you might need to plug someone into an odd position, and Pujols can play anywhere in the IF or the corner OF positions. But, at that point in the game, you HAVE to insert Pujols. Don't worry, I'll tell you why.
At that point in the game, there are only a few things that can happen. If the batter gets out (like Rowand did), the game is over. If the batter gets a hit, it's likely that 2 runs will score and the NL will win. It's also possible that a wild pitch or walk could result in a tie game, which could lead to extra innings if K-Rod ended the damage at that point. But, it's highly unlikely that a K-Rod v. Pujols match-up would not result in the end of the game. That's why you want Pujols in the batter's box, not Aaron Rowand. I'm not trying to slight Rowand, but Pujols is a better hitter. Plus, there are some hitters who don't handle hard throwers well. It looked like Rowand was a little overmatched in his first AB. Pujols would have had a better shot against K-Rod.
I won't talk about the La Russa - Pujols relationship. I just still have a hard time believing La Russa screwed up the baseball side of it that bad!
