Its real simple...your leadoff hitter is down 0-2 so you send your guy, if he gets into 2nd great, you got a shot, if he doens't, you start the next inning with your leadoff hitter having a fresh count.
Any good manager would do that and its a real simple thing in baseball, kind of like running with a full count and 2 outs.
Yeah, Pods was dead with that count anyways.
