I think we sometimes as STRATO managers forget the very nature of baseball itself; that is that the season is a Marathon not a sprint. We want HAL to manage our teams like it was game 7 of the World Series, where as HAL, I think ,recognizes that pitchers need rest and that some guys will perform better or worse than you think he should. I love the chaos of the game. I only manage one team at a time so I can savor the incredible feeling of imagining Carlos Pen~a hit that winning homerun with two outs in the ninth. Never forget this is just a game. Play it and have fun. Don't get hung up on winning and losing. My experience is that the team with the best record is doomed in the playoffs and the wild card team wins the championship every time.
