HOW TO MANAGE THE GAME – HOW MUCH INFORMATION DO YOU GATHER
(Do you change the way you've done it all season when you get to the playoffs?)
MANAGER'S APPROACH
• YOU'RE THE BOSS - ONE MAN SHOW • USING YOUR COACHES AND TRAINERS • USING ANALYTICS • FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS FROM FRONT OFFICE • SUBMITTING TO PLAYERS OPPINIONS
GAME PLANNING AND MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
• INTENTIONAL WALKS • PITCHING AROUND HITTERS • OVERUSE OF BULL PEN IN PLAYOFFS • VALUE OF STARTERS GOING DEEPER IN THE GAME • WHEN TO MAKE PITCHING CHANGES • STEALING BASES/HOLDING RUNNERS • PINCH HITTING DECISIONS • USING THE BUNT • SETTING UP YOUR STARTING PITCHING FOR THE BEST SCENARIO • MANAGING A WINNER TAKES ALL GAME
