I used to get kind of worked up over how the AI managed batting orders, then I realized most of the time my objections had to do with the leadoff batter. Then I started to realize how difficult it would be to program an AI to make the "correct" decision on a leadoff batter. Given 30 MLB managers (or whatever) you'll get 35-40 different types of leadoff batter decisions.

So, now I sort of follow the AI's decisions with curiosity, more than anything else, because sometimes its seemingly unconventional decisions work remarkably well.
