If the plays are relatively close at the plate, he is making the right move, even if the guy is thrown out. If the next hitter is a .290 hitter, then you have to trust the runner has better than a 29% chance to make it, or you hold him. Anything more than that, you send him. It's the poker part of baseball. Play the odds. But you're far more willing to gamble on the road.
