For me, it's not a question of whether the strategy exists in real life or makes sense. It already does on both counts, but it's weird that the AI would do it in the case of Mays but not apply it where it makes even more sense with Ruth. |
Because the strategy is not about Ruth vs Mays, it’s about the #7 or #8 hitter.
