Like seawolf17, I'm not a fan of IWs either but last night was where I would have made an exception. You hope that your pitcher will pitch carefully/pitch around to the batter but that doesn't always work out. You also have a young pitcher who doesn't have as much experience as a veteran at pitching around a batter. Also, the on-deck batter was Jose Lopez who isn't nearly as good (I'm watching my phrasing to prevent Lopez from hitting for the cycle this afternoon) so here, I would have walked the "Jeter-esque" Tulowitzki.
