Small ball (baseball)
In the sport of baseball, small ball is an informal term for an offensive strategy in which the batting team emphasizes placing runners on base and then advancing them into scoring position for a run in a deliberate, methodical way.
This strategy places a high value on individual runs and attempts to score them without requiring extra base hits, or sometimes without base hits at all, instead using bases on balls, stolen bases, sacrifice bunt or sacrifice fly balls, the hit- and- run play, and aggressive baserunning with such plays as the contact play.
A commonly used term for a run produced playing small ball is a" manufactured run".
This style of play is more often found in National League game situations than in the American League due in large part to the absence of the designated hitter in the National League.
However, the 2014/2015 Kansas City Royals( who play in the American League) are the most recent example of a team with a small ball orientation.
A team may incorporate a small- ball strategy for a variety of reasons, including:
Most commonly, managers will switch to small- ball tactics while a game is in progress, doing so upon the convergence of a variety of factors including having appropriate hitters coming up next in the batting order and, often, having fast runners already on base.
A team could also start the game with the intention of playing small ball but then change from this strategy at some point during a game, depending on circumstances, such as when the opposing pitcher is struggling or has left the game or when the team is ahead or behind by several runs.

I'm Not There
I'm Not
There is a 2007 musical drama film directed by Todd Haynes and co-written with Oren Moverman.
It is an unconventional biopic inspired by the life and music of American singer- songwriter Bob Dylan.
Six actors depict different facets of Dylan's public personas: Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger( his final film to be released during his lifetime), and Ben Whishaw.
A caption at the start of the film declares it to be" inspired by the music and the many lives of Bob Dylan"; this is the only mention of Dylan in the film apart from song credits, and his only appearance in it is concert footage from 1966 shown during the film's final moments.
The film tells its story using non-traditional narrative techniques, intercutting the storylines of seven different Dylan- inspired characters.
The title of the film is taken from the 1967 Dylan Basement Tape recording of" I'm Not There", a song that had not been officially released until it appeared on the film's soundtrack album.
The film received a generally favorable response, and appeared on several top ten films lists for 2007, topping the lists for" The Village VoiceEntertainment WeeklySalon" and" The Boston Globe".
Particular praise went to Cate Blanchett for her performance, culminating in a Volpi Cup for Best Actress from the Venice Film Festival, the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, along with an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination.

Small ball (basketball)
In basketball, small ball is a style of play that sacrifices height, physical strength and low post offense/defense in favor of a lineup of smaller players for speed, agility and increased scoring (often from the three-point line).
It is closely tied to the concepts of pace and space, which pushes the speed of the offense and spreads out the defense with extra shooters on the court.
Many small ball lineups feature a non-traditional center who offers skills that are not normally found from players at that position.
Teams often move a physically dominant player who would typically play the small forward position into the power forward position.
Examples of players who have been used in this role include Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, and LeBron James.
That individual would play alongside either a traditional power forward (shifted into the center position), or alongside a center.
The advantage of using small ball is that the power forward position is occupied by a faster, more agile player who can outrun and outmaneuver the opposing power forward.
In many cases the player may have a better three-point shooting percentage than a traditional power forward, which (as well as increasing points from three-point plays) can help spread the opposition defense.
The opposing defender will come out to mark the player on the perimeter of the three point line, allowing space for teammates to run in and score around the basket.
A player occupying this position, with a high three-point shot success percentage, is coined a "stretch 4".
Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra employed this style of play starting in 2011–12, labeling it as "pace and space".
Early in the playoffs, small forward LeBron James filled in at power forward after the Heat lost starter Chris Bosh to injury.
James remained at that position for the remainder of the playoffs, as Bosh was moved to center when he returned.
While the style of play does have advantages, there are several disadvantages.
The addition of speed and agility comes at the cost of strength and height; the lack of traditional "big men" can make it more difficult to guard the space under the basket while on defense and can also prevent the team from having a low-post offensive threat when attacking.
Rebounding is often sacrificed; for example, in the 2012–13 season, the Miami Heat, playing small ball, had the most wins during the season, but were the worst team in the NBA in rebounding.
The Golden State Warriors in 2014–15 used small ball to a greater extent in the NBA Finals than any prior champion, swapping out big man Andrew Bogut from the starting lineup for Andre Iguodala, who would eventually be named the Finals MVP.
The Warriors small lineup came to be known as the Death Lineup.
The Warriors have attained a historic level of success, winning three NBA titles and setting the NBA wins record during the period from 2014-2017.
The success of the Warriors' small ball lineups has caused some analysts to consider small ball to be the future of basketball, eschewing traditional lineups in favor of a brand of "positionless" basketball that allows teams to play small.
