Message: [QUOTE="FrancoPizza, post: 2068802, member: 5195"] We didn't fall behind by enough points for JB to consider getting out of the zone in those situations. JB's sliding rule for trunk monkey used to be any deficit greater than 12-13 points under the 12:00 timeout. It changes a bit depending on time remaining of course, but in games where we've trailed throughout that was the general tipping point when he would go to the bullpen. Any midmajor coach should instruct their players to run out the shot clock at the expense of extending a lead to increase their chances of winning. [/QUOTE]
