[quote] wouldn't necessarily say it's a bug, but a design choice. A bug is when an aspect of the game does not behave as it was designed to do. Now, you or I may disagree with the design decision, but that doesn't make it a bug. <hr></blockquote>

Then, with all due respect, I think it's a ill-judged design choice. There is a built-in home field advantage in all major sports and baseball is no exception. This is reality. Though not a game killer, to omit this factor is to render the game a bit less realistic. In my opinion.

All you have to do is raise the pitcher's ratings a bit at home and depress them a bit on the road. This isn't rocket science.
