Yep, this, great stuff, Todd! And I wll also add you have to make in game decisions based on what you're seeing at that time. There's a flow and rhythm to each game and what each player is doing during that game. Great coaches get to know their players and can tell when a pitcher is done and needs to come out or if a hitter is just overmatched and you need a pinch hitter,etc... At least that's been my experience. I love the stats of baseball and what they tell you but there's so much more to the game than just numbers.
