What comes first? Bunt, H&R or Steal

Postby shoop » Mon Nov 02, 2009 10:16 am

This question has been going around our league for a few seasons with no sure answer....

with no outs and a runner on first with a good chance to be safe on a steal
with the batter up having both a good rating for bunting and hit & running.....

in what order does hal use to put the next play on, what does he do first:
bunt, hit & tun or steal?

Thanks

Well based on my CDROM game experiences, I would assume the steal attempt would be made first as that opens up other options in case the steal attempt works.
Once you bunt (unless the initial bunt attempt is foul) or hit and run, it's too late to attempt a steal.

It logically makes sense to attempt a steal first, but this is HAL we're talking about and an AI is not as logical as a human.

After that, I would imagine your settings and the situation would dictate if a bunt or H&R is attempted.
