(1) As far as bringing the outfield in. I would only do this in the bottom of the 9th or later and only with the winning run on 3rd and less than 2 outs. Never in any other situation. (I'm talking real life here.)
(3) Infield in with less than 2 outs, a runner on 3rd and you feel you can't afford to let the run score. The situation in (1) above is obvious. But whenever you're behind (or tied) and you feel you can't allow your opponents to score more runs. Usually later in a game but if you’re up against a tough pitcher and you feel runs will be hard to come by I've seen teams do it in the 2nd or 3rd inning.
Every one manages a little different. If you use a certain strategy and it works then you're a genius. If it fails you’re a dope. It's what makes the game fun.
