Well, Bill Buckner was a pretty good defensive 1B back in the day.
But, anyhow over 7 games that many great plays does seem a little wierd.
I did find a rather strange way to get good starting pitching in the playoffs in one version. I put a MR in for 1-2 innings. Then I put in the scheduled starter who generally pitches pretty good. Dont know why it worked. Maybe I confused the heck out of the AI.
