If this goes on long enough, Ichiro may have to pitch! :-B

I can't really tell whether you are chastising their logic or not, but when the game is on the line and you are facing one of the best hitters in his generation, you make somebody else beat you. korea played with fire and got burned. they had an open base and a significantly weaker hitter behind him.

Obviously that doesn't guarantee you get the next guy, but you are playing the odds.

I've always hated walking the bases loaded. Too many bad things can happen to score that run when you do, and the pressure is immediately placed on the pitcher. If it is a control guy pitching, though, it's not a bad move.
