add it to the list

of HAL F000000CK jobs

Mariano Duncan doubles with two outs and down by a run in the 8th inning....he's already in scoring position, but HAL decides he should F000000CKING try for 3rd, and gets thrown out ending the inning and blowing the scoring chance

then in bottom of the 9th with the score tied, and a man on base, HAL somehow decides he should leave in my SP and NOT FF000000CKING pinch hitting for him trying to win the game, and blowing the scoring chance

and of course, HAL ends up making my squad lose a few innings later.....game 4 of the playoff series, instead of tied, I'm now gonna lose down 3-1

Can't beat a computer system like that

ADD IT TO THE LIST.......Im guessing there are at least 30-50 or more flaws in the game like below, which have no excuse in the year 2025 still being part of the flawed game

1. with 2 outs, regardless of the score, losing,tied, or winning, NEVER let a batter try and stretch a double into a triple.....not ONE manager is MLB would send the runner

2. with the score tied or behind and in the bottom of the 9th or extra innings (a chance to win the game right there, and not need to pitch any more innings), ALWAYS pinch hit for the pitcher, if there is any viable hitter on the bench, or even a better hitting pitcher.....it makes NO FOOOOOOOCKING sense at all to leave the SP in (or any pitcher) and let them hit for themselves, unless they're an "8" (or 5) rating

I feel your pain, and I’d love to see a compiled list of all these ridiculous flaws. Maybe if enough players keep pointing them out, SOM will finally address them.

You have a sympathizer, BFW. Rather than deleting it, I'm going to leave Boulied's post up as an example of what to look for from an AI bot.

- It's always the bots 1st post
- The content of its post is based on previous posts in the thread
- There are no spaces in the bots name

If anyone sees such a post, click on the exclamation point in the upper, right corner to report it.
Or PM me. I'll send it back to the ether from whence it came.

I wish HAL was more of a bot, instead of an Idi-bot

I have thought about compiling the beginning of a list, I'm sure others would have ideas or observations I've not seen

but here's another one.

at least a few of my SPs have gotten PICKED OFF first base, when there is NO reason for them to run, my team setting for stealing is the lowest, "EXTRA CONSERVATIVE",

the pitchers is lucky enough to have gotten on base, and then instantly disintegrated before next batter even sees a pitch
