Why can’t managers get even the simplest of things right?

I was listening to the OAK/TB game this afternoon. It was the 9th inning, the D-Rays were leading 7-4, there were 2 outs and a runner on second with Jack Cust up (doesn’t matter who was up). The radio announcers casually mentioned that the Rays outfield was playing “very deep.” Assuming that they were (playing deeper than normal against this particular batter), what is (radically) wrong with that?
