Bynum, pinch hitting for Novoa, sacrificed, 5-4, Theriot to third, Ramirez to second

 

Is it just me... or would it have made more sense to have Bynum up to try and hit earlier... and Z up now to sacrifice?

[Fred Hornkohl]

I really hope someone in the press asks Dusty why he wanted Z to pinch hit THERE.... with 2 outs and nobody on...
