That's probably because there are no dubmasses on here suggesting that those coaches ... or any other coach ... should have made coaching decisions based upon statistics only.
You're the only one. Imagine that.
This is Never said for Stans Mullen Koenning Wilson Croom etc... Any Cohen critiques brings your type out in full force though.
The only flaw is in your reasoning. The silly idea that coaching decisions should always be based on statistics. That's the only flaw.
That is the one flaw. Generally speaking, he's right and it's really not even close. Bunting is almost always not the best option. Exceptions being if you need 1 run or if you have a weak hitter against a strong pitcher. But if you just choose the best option every time, the defense is going to know exactly what you're going to do every time and they'll pitch/defend you accordingly. Sometimes you have to change it up to keep the defense off balance. Some coaches do outsmart themselves and overdo it though.
"Sometimes you have to change it up ...."
You don't say.
