The thing is, keeping Snell in the game is not a "gut decision", it's a completely logical decision based on his performance during the day, the pitch count, and the overall quality of him as a pitcher. If Cash had decided to keep Snell in the game after 110 pitches and walking a couple of guys because he liked the look of his eyebrows or something, then yeah that's a gut decision. But here there's a ton of completely tangible factors that support keeping Snell in, what does "gut" have to do with it?
Just because you're not using a spreadsheet to make a decision doesn't mean you're using your "gut". I mean if I'm hungry, I'm just going to eat because I find eating works, after years of experience, not because I kept stats on it.
