I know a vague amount of beisbol. Aside from the "hit 'em where they ain't" and other pithy sayings, I get the notion of aggression on a two out hit and such.
When we get to the "If your pitcher throws a slider, change, and fastball, how do you handle a lefty with one out, a man on second, and a 2-1 count up 2 in the 7th?", you lose me. I know analytics is supposed to be all the rage right now, and I understand cold numbers better than most. However, I believe humans aren't random, and that a hot pitcher who's a statistically weak match is better than a cold pitcher with better alignment. In short, I think baseball is less data driven than managers make it.
Now college football, I'm prepared to debate zone versus reach blocking, or foot alignment of the slot receiver on a levels route.
