I thought (bad thoughts) about Stairs and Bixler, but then could not remember anyone available to pinch-hit. Did they have anyone left?
Nix hit the winning sacrifice fly as a PH recently, despite nursing his achilles injury.
Jason Marquis has 8 hits in 35 at bats, including 1 double and 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored.
This compares to:
Matt Stairs has 7 hits in 45 at bats, including 1 double and 1 RBI and 4 runs scored.
ANSWER: Pinch hit Marquis instead of Stairs.
