No way you pinch hit in the 2nd inning

This. See: NLCS Game 6.

One more thought on that... You can't got to a Westbrook or Jackson in the middle of an inning.

For crying out loud they are professionals who throw a baseball. If they don't have enough mental makeup to come in the middle of the inning then they don't need to be in the major.

Is it a mental thing or just the amount of time needed for them to warm-up adequately?

They can do it, but they havne't. So you go to a real reliever that you've used in real high leverage situations all year long. Overreact much?

Not at all, just don't understand the babying of professionals with a WS on the line. It's not that big of a deal. Regular season I would agree with you...WS on the line conventional thinking goes out the window.
