There's nothing to lose. He probably won't hit again tonight anyways.
This team will have to take chances eventually before the season is over. If it's anyone else on base the score would have been 5-4 and the inning still on.
Leaving the slowest runner in the majors in when he's in a scoring position doesn't make a lot of sense.
