Any other hitter than Thole and I might see what your saying, but putting a bat in his hands is essentially giving up an out anyways. And the chance of two outs, which happened here.

Goins is just as bad. I don't see the point of giving up an out to set the table for Goins. I'd rather let them both swing with the hopes that one can get on and give Melky a chance with runners on. Banking on Goins getting a hit is a pretty low percentage play, and also kills off the chance of a big rally by giving up the out.
