Rather than focusing solely on in-game tactical decisions, it also analyzes broader, off-the-field management issues such as handling players, fans, and media, enforcing team rules, working with the front office, and balancing pressure versus performance. 606 $aBaseball managers$xRating of$zUnited States 606 $aSports personnel$xRating of$zUnited States 615 0$aBaseball managers$xRating of 615 0$aSports personnel$xRating of 676 $a796.357/64 676 $a796.35764 700 $aJaffe$b Chris$01510092 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781181503321 996 $aEvaluating baseball's managers$93742391 997 $aUNINA
