Rockies Mailbag: Why can't Colorado win playing “small ball”?

Pose a Rockies- or MLB-related question for the Rockies Mailbag. In your (recent) Sunday article, where you interviewed general manager Bill Schmidt, he used the word “execution” multiple times. Why can't the Rockies try to execute as follows in a tight ballgame: The leadoff hitter gets a bunt single, he steals second, he advances to third on a fielder's choice and comes home on a sacrifice fly? When John McKay was coaching the terrible Tampa Bay Bucs, a reporter asked McKay, “What do you think of your team's execution coach?” To which McKay replied, “I'm in favor of it.”
