Usually when you’re a professional baseball team and your opponent has the bases loaded in the fourth inning of a game you want to do whatever it takes to not give up a run.
Well, that is, unless you’re Joe Maddon and the Los Angeles Angels. Because if you’re them you apparently just let the other team score a run. In fact, you make sure they score a run by doing one of the strangest things a team could do in that situation – intentionally walk a hitter with the bases loaded.
That’s what they did Friday night when they opted to intentionally walk Corey Seager with the bases loaded in the fourth inning.
