Pitcher was super slow to the plate. Even Cupp could have stolen second easily. But yea, pinch run if need be.
I know lemonis is probably thinking he doesn't want to take the bat out of the hands of Mershon and DJ, but being aggressive there is the easy choice due to the fact that the pitcher was so slow to the plate. He was basically a wind up to the plate even with a runner on.
