1.) Runner on third (fast), one out, down by 1 run in the ninth. Pitcher throws alot of strikes. You’ve got your number 7 hitter at the plate. He’s a pretty good bunter, do you squeeze or let him swing away?
2.) Your ace pitcher has run into a little trouble in the 7th. Your team is up 3-1, there is one out, first and second. He is a RHP, there is a lefty coming to the plate. You have a LHP in the bullpen, but everyone else is spent from an extra inning game last night? What do you do?
3.) You are on third, you are a big guy with ok speed (not great) think Prince Fielder-ish. Sac Fly to mid-center field. Rick Ankiel is camped under it, he’s got a GREAT arm. But you remember that the catcher was plunked on his glove hand wrist with a fastball earlier in the game, and it seems to really be bothering him. Do you go for it, take him out, and hope he can’t hang on? There is one out. Your team is tied in the 7th.
4.) You are a scout, which 3 of the 5 tools would you value most?
