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.

Bill Belichick has a couple of games he's won this way, where he thinks the other team can't stop the run so he calls 45 run plays; never stops being funny.
