Have you ever questioned a manager’s pitching change mid-game? I remember last season when our ace was cruising through the 6th inning, and suddenly the manager pulled him for a reliever. I couldn’t wrap my head around it at the time—our guy had his rhythm and wasn’t showing signs of fatigue. It got me thinking: do managers sometimes see things from the dugout that we just can’t notice from the stands?
