If he PHs Ronny early, then he double switches DeRo out and leaves himself with no MI.
Now, he uses his 4th OF early, then double switches out his other CF. I don’t like the idea of Dome playing CF when he is struggling so much with his swing.

Nothing weak about that grounder.
That was hit very well, just at someone – and the Astros did everything EXACTLY right to get that DP. 80% of time we probably score a run on that ball, hit that way.

The guy has more plate appearances
than anyone else on the team. He gets more opportunities to hit with men on base than just about anyone else. His previous GIDP high was 18 in 2001, and now he’s got 25. That is significantly more, but let’s be real people. He’s lock-solid at first base – would you rather have another defender @ 1B in a tight game? He’s a field general and one of the best guys on the team. But if you wanna look at stats, give the whole picture, damnit.

Pinch hitting for Lee?
Isn’t he top 5 in league in driving in game-winning runs or whatever that defunct stat was called? It isn’t a late-game clutch issue, let’s not confuse it. The guy just hits a ton of GP and, unfortunately, it is harder to stomach because he is no longer the 30 HR guy he was. I mean his numbers are basically the same as DeRosa’s.

It seems as though we just can’t beat some teams consistently. I would lump the astros in that bunch. It appears that Lee (albeit injured), Pence, Tejada, and whoever their catcher is (Ausmus, new guy, whoever they start) just owns the cubs. They get up to play us. Period. I look forward to being done with this series. Yuck.

At the moment, they're the best options.
Lee should be down in the order. Riot should bat #2 and play SS. He’s having his career year, and his defense isn’t so horrible that a change is necessary.

Here's What I'd Do
if I managed and a rookie went into pinch hit:
I’d say “Look, I don’t care what you hit at AAA, you are to choke up and make contact. Forget the hero crap and just take a nice, sweet swing and make contact.”

But I do not want to say “Gosh, gee, jolly, we have a 4.5 game lead, that’s okay!” We still have 6 games against the Cards, 3 against the Mets, and 6 against the Brewers. I want to WIN now and BIG so we aren’t scoreboard watching 24/7 come late September.
