Data analytics are critical to MLB teams being successful. This can be seen in
the seemingly constant use of the infield shift. But surely every decision
cannot be made on the basis of numbers and probabilities. In game 7 of the 2020
World Series Tampa manager Kevin Cash removed Blake Snell to the delight of the
Dodger dugout. We all know what happened after that.
When can hunches and feelings be used on the part of managers? Players? We
talk about numbers from this season as well as some important seasons of the
past.
