Failed Bunts

Tom the Fish · 06-21-2008, 02:12 AM

I am running a quickstart of the ABA file that I simmed until 1987 then I took over a team. I am not in commissioner mode.

I noticed thru spring training that I wasn't getting any successful bunts. Now I am in the regular season and keeping track. I have had 100 bunt attempts in 73 games from players ranging from 39 to 89 (scouts on) in sac bunt rating. Not a single successful attempt. For testing purposes, I've been going all the way until the player strikes out from taking, missing or fouling the ball for the last 20 attempts. Nothing but failure.

Any ideas?

Define "successful" bunt... are you failing to move a player over even or failing to get the batter on base?

I haev sac bunted a few times with success in the ABA quickstart although I am playing from 1951..

Strikeout. Never getting the ball in play when bunting. _not once_

bump. also starting noting that the computer has failed to make a successful bunt since I decided to keep track of that as well. bizarre.

additional info: under strategy, bunt is set to normal. Also, under league totals, sac bunts is set to .251 could this be too low maybe?

I take it from the lack of replies that no one else is experiencing this...

Please post this in the tech support forum, I'll see if I can find out more and/or log it. My first question is, have you seen it in any other leagues?
