As the MLB playoffs come to a close, it becomes more and more apparent the amount of strategy needed to make it big in the month of October.
Baseball is always a cerebral game. Whether it be through double-switches for position players of contemplating bullpen configurations, it is extremely important for managers and other executives alike to be in tune with the game and what is going on around them. Miss an opportunity to gain an advantage and that can be the one run driven in that can make the difference.
This concept is heightened greatly in the playoffs and especially the World Series.
