SB Nation columnist Scott Barzilla published an analytical piece on November 6, 2026, examining the role and performance of Major League Baseball managers. The article, titled "In the Lab: A Long Look at Managers," appears to delve into managerial strategies and decision-making, possibly in the context of the 2026 World Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Milwaukee Brewers. An accompanying photograph shows former player Albert Pujols on the MLB Network set prior to Game 4 of the World Series at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.
