a good thread about forcing execution.

by the by, this was an explicit strategy of the Dodgers against the Yankees in the World Series this year; it won them the clinching game when the Yankees failed to execute in the field.

I have a sports metaphor story for this!

I have a younger brother who was a very competitive baseball player as a kid. Was on all the local travel & developmental squads.

One of his coaches had a very interesting and counterintuitive (to me) philosophy of the game, as it was played at that level.
