Last week I was covering the Pirates in St. Louis, and was asked a question after the lone loss of the series. I was asked why I didn't focus on the lineup choices for that night. My response was that it wasn't something that I considered an issue (the Pirates went all right-handers with a focus on defense to combine strategies with a lefty on the mound and Charlie Morton starting for the Pirates).
If you've ever watched "How I Met Your Mother", one of the best episodes is the "Intervention" episode. Throughout the episode, the characters point out traits about other characters that no one else in the group noticed.
