Joe,
I posted my issue on the main page with a collection of games where HAL just did me wrong (75% of the time). I had a few more but it got tiresome reviewing all the outings.
My issue has HAL has been less than consistent when pulling starters / relievers.
HAL allows Pedro to toss 10 plus innings three times this year but also yanks Pedro in the 6th or 7th after he yields less than 4 hits. It is not, as if, pulling Pedro does anything for my hitting or running scoring ability. These issues are separate. Moreover, I don't recall Pedro falling behind so a change would be desirable.
Besides, I'm not arguing that HAL pulled Pedro and the RP let up that one HR to blow the game. I'm arguing that Pedro or the other starters aren't in distress situations so no change had been required especially when HAL replaces the RHSP with a RHRP. :x
Otherwise, my settings are and have always been
[b:bc866ee586]Manager Settings:[/b:bc866ee586]
Conservative Relief / Normal Closer on the road - Maximum at home.
[b:bc866ee586]Individual Settings:[/b:bc866ee586]
Pedro, Peavy, Prior, Wagner / Politte: Slow Hook / IBB Less / Avoid using in blow out
Haren: IBB Less
Lee / Robertson: IBB Less and depending on the team "Quick Hook"
Riske: Avoid LHBs / IBB Less / Avoid Blowouts / Mop Up
Hammond: Avoide RHBs / IBB Less / Mop Up[/b]
