send in the relief pitcher to issue the intentional walk?? Lopez gives up an RBI double to A Rod, so he's on second with 1 out. Instead of Lopez issuing the intentional walk to Sheff, they send in Kline to do it.

That's a heck of a way to throw off a relievers control, imo.

why do basketball teams down 3 with 20 seconds left and the ball insist on trying to make the 3 and get the tie ASAP instead of taking the easy basket you know the other team will literally give you - then foul and hope the shooter misses 1 so now you only need to make a hoop to tie or at worst a 3 to tie - like you needed last time down the court. teams that are down 3 - shoot the 3 - miss it and have the other team get the ball and get fouled and from that point in time have the game in hand los the game like 99.99% of the time where if they got the 2 THEN fouled would have a better chance of winning


but as chaos said - some coaches/managers are stupid

why don't NFl coaches use their timeouts on defense to save time on the clock for the offense. what i mean by this is if the eagles are up 7 over the browns and cleveland has first and goal at the philly 8 with 90 seconds left and the eagles have all 3 timeouts - why don't the eagles call a timeout after every play to save time on the clock so that if the browns score the eagles have enough time to go kick the winning FG in regulation - as opposed to not using any timeouts - seeing cleveland score the tying TD with 4 seconds left and the eagles lose all 3 timeouts because they don't carry into OT.

or why don't teams down 1 with 60 seconds left and no timeousts LET the other team score a TD to go up 8 because this way the team down 8 gets the ball back and has a chance to tie whereas if they don't allow the TD the time runs out and the lose by 1

once again - most coaches are dunderheads at the end of the game as far as clock/game management.
