Ok, I want to make sure I heard this correctly:
Did Tommy Hutton really say something along the lines of "you should never walk that guy, you should give up a home run instead of bringing the tying run to the plate with a walk"?
I am not as proficient in baseball knowledge of many of you, but that's one of the dumbest things that anyone covering sports for a living has ever said, right?

While it was stupid and I'm not agreeing with the comment, you are only taking partially word for word what he said and, in doing so, changing his point. The point was that Callaspo, with his very limited power, is someone you need to throw strikes to and challenge, rather than give him a free base to face someone with well-known power who can tie the game with one swing.

I actually agreed with Tommy that time.
Unless if you're worried about Leo's stats, a walk = a HR in that situation.
Of course, I'm sure Leo wasn't throwing balls on purpose.
And Tommy didn't say anything when Ceda walked a man on four pitches with the team up 5.
