I’ve Been Following & MLB Managers Could Learn From Japanese Counterparts

[Wagerallsports]

Betting a lot of Live sports these days and have been following Japanese baseball

Those managers don’t play around late in games

When their team is clinging to a lead late/last inning and their reliever quickly walks or gives up a hit to the opposing team, their manager is like “Nope you aren’t giving up this lead for us” and pulls his azz.
While MLB managers wait too long until the damage has already been done

Guess what else they also do that is GENIUS....more often than not, get ready for it MLB.....when they have a runner on 1st and on 2nd and nobody out late in a close game, especially with a lead, guess what they do almost every time? They bunt. It is the most refreshing thing in the world. I love NPB actually.

hands are tied often with rule changes.

In an effort to reduce the number of pitching changes and, in turn, cut down the average time per game, MLB instituted a rule change that requires pitchers to either face a minimum of three batters in an appearance or pitch to the end of a half-inning, with exceptions for injuries and illnesses





Japan also has extra roster spots

Good points, I think the major leagues is too built on models now as far as managing
