Why not? You'll either lose the game then or lose the game later. Flores has been horrible for weeks. The chances of him coming through were minuscule.
Couple of reasons. He's still my best option at catcher right now. Two, it's early enough yet that I'm still gonna get through the meat of my order one more time in all likelyhood, that pinch hitter will likely be more necessary when the pitcher's spot comes around the next time in what is probably my last opportunity to get back in the game. Plus, Flores does have enough pop to take one yard and with the pinch hitter coming up behind him, he does still have to pitch to him.
