As you read this you have one thing in common with me and everyone else in Red Sox Nation – we know a world more about baseball than whoever the manager of the team may be. That is a natural happening and most of us use far too much hindsight to pontificate about our incredible insights into various moves that should have been made.
The reality is most managerial moves are similar to umpiring decisions in that they are routine and quite basic. However, with both come the occasional questioning of how can he do that? One thing the fan does not have privy to is the real situation with each player.
