"No doubles" vs. "Play the count"

When the situation arises late in the game what decision would you make?

You have a 5-3 lead and the opposition has runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out. It's the last inning so you are thinking that you should be in a no doubles defense. However, the 7th hitter is coming up and you're also thinking that he isn't going to drive the baseball so maybe you should "play the count."

Obviously, the decision is based upon many factors but one important one is the coaches philosophy . Keep your outfielders back to cut off the extra base or allow them to move with the count to catch shallow balls off of 0-2/1-2 counts.

I think both decisions have merit but I'm going to suggest the opposing batter vs. the defense's pitcher should be the overriding factor. Think logically upon that matchup and less about the timing of the matchup. If the batter is not likely to drive the ball in the gap- allow "play the count" to be the most important element. If the batter has the potential to drive the ball in the gap, a no doubles defense is certainly a logical thought.

There is no right or wrong decision here. There is just another baseball choice that many people never consider when thinking the game of baseball.
