Holy HAL!

[jayhawk81]

Craziest move I've seen:

[b:5df1bc66c3]Situation: [/b:5df1bc66c3] Game 7 of the Finals
At home
Trailing 1-2, top of the 8th
Well rested bullpen
[b:5df1bc66c3]HALs move:[/b:5df1bc66c3] Inserts Lew Krause, who pitched 40 IP all year
and exactly 0 IP in 9 playoff games
[b:5df1bc66c3]Outcome: [/b:5df1bc66c3] My team scores an unearned run in the bottom of the 8th thanks to a roger metzger error, then McCovey hits a one-out, walk-off HR in the 9th. Oh yeah and that Krause guy - picks up the Game 7 W with 2 hitless innings!!

Way to go HAL

It seems HAL knows exactly what to do sometimes (like this) and then other times it is just the opposite. I'll never figure it out.

Do you have a season reveal on Krausse? Maybe it was 68, or even 71.

[jayhawk81]

it was '68, but his season line for me read: 36IP, 40H, 15BB, 21K, 6.50ERA and 1.53WHIP.

Yeah, but you know HAL doesn't base his decisions on previous stats. He goes by percentages.

Or just random picks out of a hat. =)
