Again, I’m not a dev but I know the thought process: that’s a lot of extra work for some extra utility that’s going to be felt by very few players. Most people don’t play out games or when they do they let the computer manager handle these strategies. I know the way I’d handle this would be to add some kind of malus when a batter takes a strike but then you’re going to have people complaining that their team isn’t hitting worth a damn (and of course if it messes up the sim engine, which is just the game engine running very quickly, everyone will dislike it). In fact, if the devs take time on this an awful lot of people will complain that this is spending time on “new features” (which I mean it’s not at all) instead of, like, improving the roster and trade AI.

I’m not saying that this means this will never be updated or that it shouldn’t be, but that’s the reality, and that’s why I’m advocating workarounds for now.
