Reminds me of an anecdote I read about a young Ty Cobb. The coach told him to bunt. Instead, he hit a home run, but he got kicked off the team for not doing what he was told.
It’s an old idea – when you’ve got the evil eye on the pitcher and get a chance to nail a homer, go for it. Strategy from the bench isn’t all there is to the game.

Wiley, you’re kind of hard-headed, and can’t see the big picture.

Be thankful for what you got, coach. Intentional walks don’t always work.

Smells suspiciously like a military attitude. Wiley, not Clumsy.

Walk him, bean him. Batter still gets on base.

Sounds like my manager. More concerned with things being done his way than the right way.
