The next batter was David Justice, and Tom Kelly emerged from the dugout to talk to his ace. Morris was not pleased to see his manager, as he thought that he was coming to the mound to remove him from the game. Instead, he was there to discuss strategy. Justice had only three hits in the series to this point, but was a significant enough power threat that Kelly thought of intentionally walking Justice and pitching instead to Sid Bream, who had also been struggling throughout the series.
