So. What kind of insider baseball stuff that I missed out on makes it so complicated and difficult for a manager to decide whether to pinch-hit for his starter in the 6th inning? When to bring the infield in? When to pitch out? This is not rocket science stuff. A high school football coach has to deal with more complicated tactical decisions than a major-league baseball manager.
Maybe an American League manager. American League baseball is not real baseball. You are correct, it takes almost every element of managing out of the game due to the DH.
