When power hitters drive the ball into the stands, it's a matter of managerial luck? Who knew? All this time I thought it was them doing their job.
No, it's waiting for the homerun to win ballgames.
When a team, that is not known for home runs, and any team has gone for 150 at bats without a homerun, I feel it's up to the manager to put on plays, throw off the defense and get runners into scoring position especially when runs are at a premium.
It's called small ball, granted something with which Don might not feel adept:scratch2:.
