- We go to extra innings

- like, even if the score was 7-7 at the end of regulation, both pitchers suddenly turn into Tom damn Seaver. If I’ve left the starter in, they like strike out the side or something in the 11th (disclaimer: I do historical eras). What was once a high scoring game turns into, basically, a 0-0 tie for like 5 innings

- FINALLY someone wins but 80% of the time it’s the “wrong team”

Like I said, it’s irrational and I know it is. I even went so far as to look at the starter vs reliever decisions in my game compared to history and I found that in my save, starter are actually getting decisions more often (previous years, when the AI controlled things, it’s clearly not the case but this is about irrationality, not the fact that the game is sometimes bad with history), and although the game doesn’t really track this for you to see, I bet there’s no more extra inning shenanigans than there was IRL. But I still yell at my stupid computer when it happens because I am a very flawed person.
lol NOT BEING able to SORT TEAM stats....
dealing with archiac unsortable unfilterable transactions
not being able to LISTEN to sims
Not being able to have other stats at player and team level like no hitters, grand slams, triple plays, inside park homeruns yadda....

: )) however i don't think any of those are irrational : ))
