Gotta pull him there.
If you manage with the idea that your guys will fail, you're not going to win too many games.
If anyone involved does there job from that point forward (i.e. Stav hits a deep fly ball or grounds to the right side of the IF, McClellan/Reyes/Franklin hold the Astros down), you win and do so without pushing Penny.
Penny looked great, but he's still a fatbody with a high effort delivery and a fairly extensive injury history.
It didn't work out, but I think it was absolutely the right move.
