Whatever, I guess you just have the opinion that I am trying to troll the OOTP community and your mind is set.

Hey, calm down, I'm not calling you out for anything; I'm merely debating your stance because I personally haven't seen the problems you've presented.
To #1: I don't know what you're seeing, so please don't act like I should know what your PbP said. All you said was that the PbP stated the ball was thrown to third. That's all I'm going off of, and in my experience with the game, I haven't noticed anything out of line with runners advancing. So I gave generalized suggestions. That's all.
Now, when people ask for screenshots, the above is the kind of thing we're trying to avoid. We want to see what you're seeing, so an argument doesn't brew over semantics. It means we want to see EVERYTHING. We want to try and figure out WHY something is happening. When people question you, it's not a matter of "I don't believe you, you're lying"; it's a matter of "I wonder if there's some underlying condition that's causing this" or "Maybe this is just confirmation bias". So posting a screenshot of only the game log does not do anything but confirm that it happened - which we already knew, because again, we believe you. We just don't believe that the game is flawed in this regard, and we want to figure out why you do. So instead of just the game log, give us context. Give us a shot of the batter's ratings, and the box score of the game. Your settings. Your league totals. Let us see the whole picture as you are seeing it.

For the bunting ones I provided the context of having the bunting set to "rarely" and the in game strategy set to "sabermetric" and yet I still see a young slugger bunting a guy over in a scoreless game in the early innings. Not sure how much more context is needed to realize those are problems with the AI.

The last rested reliever thing is a little worrisome, but just going off of the "the game brought in a righty to face a lefty" - I go back to my first post in this thread. Why is that not the right call? We'd need to see the splits for the batter and for both pitchers before we can say that the game made a poor decision. There's more at work than just L/R matchups.
And for the bunting ones, you've posted game logs and occasionally ratings. Good start, but again, I want to see everything. The box score, primarily. Maybe a screenshot of all your settings - because there could always be something messing with the engine besides the bunting frequency. Also, how consistently is this happening? Is it over the course of a week, or a month? A season? And what are the final numbers? Are sacrifice hits out of line with league totals? As I said above, we need to see the whole picture exactly as you are seeing it. You're insisting the guy bunting is a young slugger, or a number three hitter, but you haven't shown anything to back that up, merely his name and the fact that he bunted. You need more than that. I know it's a lot to try and keep track of, and a lot of work screenshotting everything, but with only the PbP evidence, all I can do is shrug.
This is not an attack on you; this is not dismissing your issues. This is me trying to help, trying to figure out what you are seeing and whether it is an issue. I want to compare your settings to mine. I have a test league saved at all times where I can mess around with things to try and replicate issues that people are having. But without seeing more than just "this is happening," I can't offer more than "it's not happening for me."
