I am somewhat familiar with baseball strategy, but one thing I haven't quite figured out is this: at certain times, I can't figure out when, the announcer will note that "they now have the fielders in (or out).
What are times when you'd bring fielders in/out? One obvious time to bring them in is a likely bunting situation - man on first/second, <2 outs, especially if the pitcher is up. But if there's two strikes would you move them back out because of the two strike bunt into foul territory rule?
There must be lots of other situations... please enlighten me. Thanks! 10 points to the most thorough answer.
