How valuable are "Instincts" in managing baseball? re: Rhyme's AB

Seems a lot of managers use "instinctive" thinking when going against the grain on righty/lefty pitching changes, bunting v hitting away to move a man over, playing a shift for a certain hitter, etc.
Does CPM seem to rely on "Gut Feel" or instinct more than others. Sure seems like, given Raph's history with a man on 1st, he takes common sense out of the equation.

2-0 count and he was looking for the pitcher to serve one up for Rhymes
UCLA's coach/UCLA's pitcher has 2 options, serve it up to him, or award him the open base
CPM apparently thought he would serve it up for him I guess

Raph also doesn't have a sac bunt on the year. But given that stat and the fact that he hits well and the fact that hes a senior leader...you still bunt there. Or at least wait for the guy to throw a strike.

Only a Mainieri coached team can have 2 hits and a walk in an inning and never get a runner to 3rd base.

While I do think CPM should have flashed bunt but taken the 2-0 pitch some blame needs to be on RR. It was a hit and run and he hit it to the worst place possible. He is supposed to hit it in the vacated infielders spot which will NEVER be 3rd base.

CPM was out-coached in this game. UCLA had a game plan, we did exactly what they expected us to do.
Their game plan worked on our batters - we are always aggressive at the plate and tend to pop up. Knowing that, they threw high fast ball after high fast ball and we never adjusted. We seemed to swing at nearly every one.
Their game plan worked on our fielding - the pressure they placed caused a couple errors.
Their game plan work on our pitching - they know Nola throws a first pitch strike so they allowed their lead-off man to swing at it and got a few of lead-off hits.
They're a dangerous team with lead-off man onboard and we allowed it nearly every inning.
