I think it's still bigger than the risk, though. Gore is just automatic. 99.9% So I'll trade the 0.1 percent risk for a 1 percent chance (or whatever it is) of a wild pitch/passed ball. Plus, hell, there may have been a bigger chance of a wp/pb than Rios getting a hit with Gore on 2B.

Alas, we got hit with -- a very questionable -- 0.1 percent.
