I then lets refer to it as In-Game Strategy and Long Term Strategy if it helps clarify it any.
-
Let's not forget that "Tactics" are far more important in the NL than they are in the AL.

hey Im not comparing him to LaRussa, I already said that was not a good comparison, but I believe there are other managers who have gotten in the HOF with less than 2,500 wins, and would 1500 wins solidify him in the HOF, I believe that 1500 is certainly attainable if Tito stays with Boston is 3-4 WS (maybe even more but Im trying to be conservative) 1500 Ws (give or take some) good enough for the HOF?
-
I think the argument warped to "Is Tito HOF worthy?" and judging by the accomplishments of other HOF managers I would say one more WS would definitely be a good step torwards that.

lol even if that was possible it would be ridiculous and would ruin part of the competitiveness, there is nothing wrong with Umps calling the balls and strikes, its part of the game and needs to stay that way, 1) If you make a borderline pitch that has the potential to decide the game without anyone making a swing then you are taking a big gamble anyways, 2) as long as an Ump consistently makes a similar call there shouldnt be a problem 3) making an exact strikezone takes away from what makes great pitchers so amazing (look at most great pitchers, and how they had the ability to expand strike zones Maddux did this to a perfection) 4) strike zones change due to size and stance of players even if only slightly Pedroia should not have the exact same strike zone as Papi.

like I said earlier calling a round ball flying through an imaginary square is at best an imperfect science.
-
look as long as he was calling that a strike fairly consistently LAST NIGHT then I dont think its that bad if he wasnt then it was a bad call, it happens, every year every team gets a similar call for or against them...
-
really I think we are just about locked in for the WC now so I dont have a problem resting some of our key players a little more frequently.
-
but his point is that it seems to be that every other manager with that lvl of success is either in or bound for the HOF, for a manager you are judged by success, I dont care if you are a world class strategist, if you stay with the Pittsburgh Pirates for 15 years and your success is winning 80 games one year instead of 70 you are still a failure. BTW im kind of playing devils advocate, I have mixed emotions on this subject and I do belive that this subject is debatable and neither side is clearly right.
-
It's the same thing that allows really good accurate pitchers the ability to expand the strike zone like Maddux used to do.

its all good friend

Oh I agree, I was just mentioning the conversation between me and my pops.
