Strategy Notes
Defensive Strategy (Infield In, Intentional Walks, etc)
in field inInfield in when the tying or winning run is on 3rd with less than 2 out in 8th or 9th inning or extra innings.
Intentional walk only in 8th or 9th inning if first base is open and less than 2 out with tying or winning run on 3rd base.
Offensive Strategy (Bunt, Hit & Run, etc)
If Inge comes up in the 8th inning or later with tying or go ahead run on base Pinch hit for him
Have delmon Young bat for him and replace inge with Headley at third base. If Headley later gomes up in same situation later, Have Aviles pinch hit for Headley
Then have Aviles play third for rest of game.
Stealing
Cargo, Pence and Alexi Ramirez will always try to steal second when no one is on base and the catchers throwing arm is +3 or +4
No stealing when catcher has a 0 arm or a -1 to -4 arm or when leading or losing by more than 4 runs in the 7th or later.
Base Running
Try to score with two out if the chances are 1-13 or better.
Do not take the extra base when two are out, unless trying to score.
If less than 2 out, try to take the extra base whenever the chances are 1-13 or better.
