Pinella has lost his mind

7th inning: Jason Bourgeois on 3rd 1 out. Michael Bourn at the plate and he intentionally walks him? I am confused here. I mean, I would think Bourne is going to be thinking about taking second which takes away the double play ball. Then you have a man on second at best with 2 outs and must face Pence. I will be interested to see how this plays out but wow, strange. Not to mention Michael Bourne's average since May is like .220 or thereabouts. Back to the game.

I was watching this on line on a delayed feed. Amazing, with 2 outs Berkman hits a grand slam to put the Stros up 6-0. Walking Bourne in that situation made absolutely no sense and continued the inning. Of course Bourn may have gotten on regardless but I just don't understand why you would put a guy with a terrible eye and OBP but with wheels on base with 1 out in the 7th. Lou needs to consider retiring now. He has totally lost it.
