[QUOTE="78pike, post: 937705, member: 4030"] I may be wrong but my understanding is that if Finley was replaced as a pitcher then whoever came in for him on the mound would have to bat in his spot in the lineup. But by pinch hitting for him Compton was able to stay in the lineup as DH regardless of who was pitching. So I think the rationale was that Finley was probably not going to last one more inning so it was better to pinch hit for him at that point than to be forced to remove King from the mound when his turn to bat came up again. And also Finley had not been seeing the ball all that great all weekend so why not give Compton a shot. Anyway, I think the move had everything to do with maintaining pitching continuity due to the DH rules rather than who was going to hit in that spot with the knowledge that Finley wasn't going to pitch more than one more inning. And don't forget Finley had just walked two batters the previous inning so maybe he was tiring. [/QUOTE]
