you steal because clayton sucks and is probably going to make an out and you just hope it can score soriano. also its 0-2 so it might not be a good pitch to throw on.
soriano steals bases with probably 80 percent success rate. clayton gets a hit 25 percent of the time. vidro 35 percent. i'll take my chances with sori stealing and clayton making contact or vidro getting a hit.
I don't mind that Soriano was trying to steal, I just wish he would've been a little more careful about it.

Sometimes you have to think big picture.And assuming, he assumed that Clayton wouldn't get a hit, even if the steal would have been successful, Vidro would still have to get a hit with two outs to bring Soriano home from third.

They're 0-6 combined.
