AI Tries Straight Steal of Home?

I'm in game five of a five game playoff series. AI is batting in the top of the 6th inning. I am leading 5 to 1. AI has a runner on third base with 1 out. 2-0 count on the batter. Baserunner is...

"batters will take the majority of the time" is a lot different than "batter will stand there with the bat on their shoulder and watch strike three go right past them." It is straight up wrong that...

I've done some googling and haven't found anything to suggest this is true. I've found debates over whether or not batters should always take when the runner is stealing, mostly between little...

I don't know if I agree that is "generally" the case, but in any event there are certainly instances where the runner has a green light to steal and the batter is free to swing or not. Vince Coleman...

Is the "steal" command bugged?

This relates to a discussion from another thread, but I wanted to give it it's own thread in the hopes of getting some clarity.

As I understand it, you have the following options when you have a...

I think he's talking about a 5 year contract with a 6th year team option. The only money guaranteed the player is the 5 year salary and the buy out. Anything beyond that is completely out of his...

I guess the only distinction between "steal" and "Run & Hit" would be whether or not the batter has the option to swing. So the existence of both suggests "steal" means "don't swing." Assuming...

That deal is actually worse for the player because he loses control of the 6th year. If he out performs the contract he's stuck playing for $20 million in year six instead of becoming a free agent.

If this works, the AI needs to be tweaked, unless you are including generous buy-outs. Players shouldn't be falling for such obvious tricks. I always thought players viewed team options as a...

I should probably use "run and hit" more. It just seems silly that my batter will watch a two strike fastball over the heart of the plate because I gave my baserunner the green light to steal a...

I've decided I'll just keep the player and deal with the owner's disappointment. I'm not getting fired.

My other short term goals are "make the playoffs" (done) and upgrade 2nd base. My second...

I'm not sure I understand this. If I release the player, I don't have to pay for the team option years. It's like I declined them. So why should they factor into the decision? Or am I wrong about...

Maybe changing market size is the game's way of accounting for the financial impact of starting a charity? It might explain why my market size in Chicago is currently average.

Would you cut this overpaid veteran to make owner happy?

I had a young, stud centerfield on my team named Danso. Prior to the 2041 season, I signed him to an extension through his age 34 season. I figured if he regressed to the point he could no longer...

Just another update. Glove side he's actually coming along kind of nicely. The bat is not developing at all unfortunately.
