Open Thread: Game 57 - A's at Giants (cont)

The A's have had chances all night to score, but they have been denied all over the place. Tim Lincecum has singled in the first run for the Giants, and the first run that Mazzaro has given up. He got into more trouble with a two-run single, and it's 3-0 Giants; going to the sixth. The A's have no one to blame but themselves for not at least getting on the scoreboard.

This is supposed to represent the inevitable 3 runs the A's will score this inning, by the way.

Hypothesis:

The marginal benefit of using a pinch hitter there is greater than the marginal benefit of Mazzaro pitching another inning.

I think it's because the next time the A's would want a pinch hitter,

it will be the 9th, and that’s Brian Wilson. So Barton would be the pinch hitter there, Nomar here. Plus, Nomar can’t play in the field so he’s a good guy to send up when the pinch hitter will leave the game.

it gives Nomar a low-leverage hitting situation to come back to.
