What is wrong with this game?

Every game it's the same stuff. Hit by pitch, pitchers hitting doubles, errors, lay down a sac bunt and the lead runner gets taken off. If you can think of something stupid it's going to happen. It's a circus and I'm very disappointed.

Confirmation bias. You never notice the successful bunts.

Sample size is a b****

I do think it seems like the lead runner gets taken out way more often than in RL on a sac bunt - but I assume it's small sample size.

It is. Not too long ago I saw a similar post about someone griping that it was always successful.
