The move that seemed strange at the time wasn't so much pitching to Howard (they did that earlier in the game with two men on, and it worked). It was the pinch running move. When Alou got on, we were thinking, Time to put Endy in to pinch run. Then when Green got on, he puts Endy in to run for the trailing guy. Why? But it all worked out. And I'm on the side of "you manage differently in April than in September."
