I don't like the intentional walk theren for the simple fact that Gregg doesn't always throw strikes. Gregg had already walked one man in the inning and I wouldn't have been surprised if he walked in the winning run. With the intentional walk they removed his margin for error. We should have at least thrown to Kouzmanoff and if they got into an unfavorable count they could have intentionally walked him at that point. Besides, Kouzmanoff is slow as shit. We really were not gaining a whole lot by having a force out at any base.
