When the pitcher’s spot in the Cardinals’ order came up in the ninth inning of Tuesday’s loss to the Diamondbacks, the Cardinals’ win expectancy was around 71.3%, according to Fangraphs.com (72.6% according to Walkoffbalk). The bases were loaded with one out, and the score was tied. Given the options of Brendan Ryan and Ryan Ludwick, Tony La Russa then decided to pinch-hit with the Flyin’ Irishman.
