re: CPM's Lack of Strategic Coaching

Errors were made in the UCLA game but the bottom of the 9th, 0 outs, runner on first, down by one. YOU BUNT THE RUNNER OVER TO 2ND!!! You play to tie and possibly win when the game is on the line. BUT NO, Raph has the green light and swings at ball 3 and ends up in a double play.

All you have to do is read the press conference transcript from CPM after the UCLA and you'll get all the damn strategy you want. He was def thinking strategy in that spot. Maybe he was thinking he had a high contact hitter that is more than likely going to get a fastball to drive and who has also never in his career sac bunted.
