Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 3999431, member: 2458"] Yup. Baseball needs more bunting. More small ball. More strategy. That’s part of what makes the game great. I will say that I was a little on edge at the time about pinch hitting for Urias after 5. We had a big inning already and were up 6-1. We didn’t really need to pinch hit and try to get more runs. He would’ve been good for another inning. But the bullpen was fine, and we pushed a few more runs across later to really make a blowout. So it’s not even a decision anyone will ever talk about. If the pen came in and blew the game, when Urias had at least another inning or two in the tank? Roberts would be getting crushed. So many more decisions for an NL manager to make. So much more strategy involved. AL managers don’t have to do squat, really. [/QUOTE]
