Fraud.

Manager intentionally walks two batters in a row to load the bases. Naturally, the pitcher then unintentionally walks in the winning run:

"Joe Torre chose to look on the bright side after the Los Angeles Dodgers walked in the winning run in a 4-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night.

...

'I'm very positive about this series,' Torre said. 'This was a disappointment, this game. You'd like to win the ballgame, but you had your opportunities.'

...

Torre said he walked Drew and Upton to set up a force at home. He also hoped Troncoso could strike out Reynolds, who leads the majors with 190 strikeouts."


As if Joe Torre knows Reynolds or any of Reynolds's stats.
