A top manager relies on his knowledge of the game, his experiences, and then he plays his hunches.
And there's one more thing a top manager relies upon -- the game itself. Odds and percentages do not tell you if the batter you are facing in a key situation is four for four or oh for four. The game itself tells you that. A top manager relies on the game that is playing out before him to make his decisions. A shit manager relies on a book that tells him to take out his starter in the seventh...even though that starter is working on a three hit shutout.
Percentages is what it's all about. Ask anyone that knows anything about baseball.
It doesn't matter at all what the guy is doing in "the current game". It's all about what the odds are that my reliever can get an out when I put him in to face said batter.
Every manager in the majors does this. So, according to you, that would mean all managers are shit.
Yes, yes, currently all managers are shit! You honestly aren't aware of that? You honestly aren't aware of the fact that more MLB games have been lost in the last two innings than ever before in baseball? Now why do you think that is? Do you think it's because batters eat their spinach in the 8th and 9th innings? Or do you think it is because managers are shit and are making their pitching decisions by relying on numbers in a book rather than what is actually going on in the field before them?
