    In the town where I was born
    Lived a man who sailed to sea
    And he told us of his life
    In the land of submarines
    So we sailed up to the sun
    'Til we found a sea of green
    And we lived beneath the waves
    In our yellow submarine

    My point is that sometimes even when a play doesn't work out, it was still a good decision to go with. Or vice versa.
    I don't disagree with any part of your post. The debate comes when people start talking about what is a good decision and what isn't. There are a ton of factors that could enter into this one. For obvious reasons I guess, I see all of these things or try to anyway from a coaches' perspective.

    I think you have to factor in who is doing the aggressive running. After a while you get an idea who has high IQ baserunning skills.

    Hanley is probably one of our smartest baserunners on the team and questioning his decisions to stretch out a hit or stealing probably shouldn't be done by us fans sitting at home. Hanley's judgement cannot be matched by most players in the MLB.

    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    What's better than the Red Sox winning? The Red Sox winning and the Yankees losing.
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win
