Exploiting a poor defense

Exploiting a poor defense

Postby STEVEPONEDAL » Fri Oct 20, 2006 8:17 pm

When facing a team with a high error rate can one make changes in the manager strategy to exploit that?

For instance, would you get more aggressive with bunting, and baserunning to force opponent's fielder's into making bad throws?

Do you change these strategies on a daily basis depending on the team you are facing or set once at the beginning of the season and leave in place?

Thanks

There are no errors on bunts.

I can't imagine it's smart to take generally bad baserunning chances in the hope that you'll induce a throwing error eventually.

Stealing might be the one that it makes sense to change. I just leave it, though; I figure that no matter whether Piazza or Pudge is catching, I still want to run on the same percentage chances, so why change the setting? If I actually took the time to check and saw that Matt LeCroy or someone completely incompetent was catching, then I might change it.

Personally I don't change settings when I see high E ratings.

The Error happens when the roll of x comes up during an AB in the pitcher's card, with that in mind my settings have no implications on the roll of the die, so to speak.

The catcher's T rating would be affected my my stealing more, but as an everyday adjustment strategy, no I don't do it.

Just my way, most likely wrong though
