How about a walk?

Why oh why did the Giants batter, with the game tied, only one out, and with the bases loaded, why did he have to even swing at the ball. A walk would have forced in the winning run and I think the odds of that happening were quite good. But no, he has to swing at the ball and hits into a double-play thus ending the chances for a Giants win at that point. DAMN DAMN DAMN

Even if he had struck out perhaps the next batter could have walked in the winning run. Since the errant batter is one of the teams better players, I won't even mention his name here.
