	Jeff is correct......

	PHILLIES view (before wild pitch):

		Winning run on second	- base hit ends the game

		Wild pitch puts winning 
		run on third base	- icing on the cake, since it
					  still takes a base hit to 
					  win the game

	There is no reason to put Schmidt on second, since he's extra
	baggage as far as the outcome of the game goes, especially
	when a clutch hitter is at the plate (you can bet that with 
	first base open Lefebvre would have been walked).

	PIRATES view (after wild pitch):
	
		winning run on third	- base hit ends the game
		force at second		- grounder to infield is a sure OUT
		pitcher ahead of batter - 1 ball(?) , 2 strikes

	So you play the odds and pitch to Levebvre.

	The pitcher wasn't supposed to give Levebvre anything to hit,
	he was supposed to pitch junk (a walk would not be fatal) and
	try to get Levebvre to go after a bad pitch.....But being a
	little wild already and Levebvre being a clutch hitter and 
	baseball being baseball.....
