There are nights when you know someone on the team doesn’t have it. Usually, the obvious choice is the pitcher. It’s almost instantly when one can tell if the starter doesn’t have his good stuff on that night. Other times, you know right away when the offense just isn’t going to have it in them. Bad takes, strikezone struggles - it can be apparent within a batter or two with experience. The hardest one to determine is the manager. Since he doesn’t really affect the game outside of setting the lineup card prior to the game, if he’s off with some of his decisions, you are left scratching your head at decisions made.
