all of these things happen in real life too. 10 games isn't a very big sample to make deductions from. I had these things happen quite a bit in ootp3 too, but it's hard to say it is inaccurate. It SEEMS like it happens "all the time" because those heart-breaking last-inning losses get burned in your brain, so it's hard to be objective about whether or not it is unrealistic.

My $.02 on the matter.

PS: Just finished my first game of OOTP4, Cubs @ Reds. It went 14 innings. Kerry Wood got shelled for 5 runs in 5 IP, my bullpen stepped it up, and Sammy tied the score with a 3-run dinger in the top of the ninth (yeah, I know). In the 14th, Alan Benes got Griffey swinging, only to have Kelly Stinnett hit a solo HR to win it. A heart-breaker indeed. I lost, but what a great season opener!
