Depends on the contents of their bench, to be honest. Rather have him face the right-hander than walk him and run into a left-handed .275 pinch-hitter afterwards.
I believe in what Joe said, though. By walking him, you might have angered the baseball gods just as well.
But I am talking down on you here, my team leads all franchises in no-hitters with four (league is in its 24th year).
The amazing thing is that only one of those came from an actually second-rate-great franchise pitcher, one from a former ace on a 1-year stop on the way to retirement, and two from total pushovers with career records under .400 and both of those in a season where the team was playing .400 ball as well.
Conclusion: your team is too good! Break it down to get no-hitters! If you rebuild it, they will come!
