It’s one of those things where if it works out everyone calls him a genius. Because it didn’t, everyone scratches their head.

It’s not unprecedented either. Happens in the majors a lot. Especially when teams have a lefty heavy lineup. The hope is the other team shifts the lineup around to make a more statistically favorable matchup.

An Ole Miss poster on SEC Rant says that Bianco doesn't change his lineup based on matchups. IF that is true, it makes the move that much worse IMO.

How do you even determine whether or not it works? Hasty pitched well - do we just assume it's because we tricked the other team - do we just assume that Dutton wouldn't have pitched well?
