By no means am I saying it doesn't happen, it just hasn't happened that I can recall.





Well, with no outs I'd be trying for the hit, using my LH contact guy first.

With one out, I'd likely send up a guy who hits a lot of fly balls.

With two out, well you need a hit, passed ball, or wild pitch, so go with your best hitter if you can. A balk would also work but isn't likely to happen with 2 outs and 1 runner on at 3rd.

Of course everybody manages differently and decisions are certainly subjective, so go with what you feel is your best chance to get the run in.
