Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

Think HAL hates me, in the 1st game of my series I am up 1-0 bottom 9th, lead off batter 1b, next batter FLY ball LF-X result single and error batter scores lose 2-1, WOW, then the final game of the night top of the 9th down 3-2 1st hitter single CF, next hitter single RF, next hitter single LF, the left fielders arm is a +2, runner 1-13 HAL holds runner, bases still loaded nobody out next hitter Fly(B)? its a fly out, but arm +2 no tag, still bases loaded. 1 out, now still down a run, next batter GB-SS X , Error, now this is where I'm really lost how does a run not score if error happens? where did the runners go? next batter strike out game over,, 2 loses in the 9th on very crazy HAL night, why not tag and try to score a runner who's 1-15 with the +2 ? have base running set at aggressive? Oh well another freak 365 night, and today is Friday the 13,,, cant wait...

If you post a link to the play by play we might be able to interpret some of this. I can tell you from my review of play by play results, if a ballpark single chance becomes a flyout, runners do not move - that is, it is like a flyout C.

this is what it shows
0 R.Ordonez 1-3 Single (CF) b-1 F4
0 1 E.Waitkus 2-7 Single (RF) 1-2 b-1 F3
SUBSTITUTION at P: Darren Oliver (L)
0 12 J.Mercer 5-7 Single (LF) 2-o 1-2 b-1 F9
1 12 M.Brouhard 2-11 Fly Out (LF) b-0 F9
2 12 H.Aaron 4-9 1 Base Error - SS 2-3 1-2 b-1 gb(SS)x F9
2 123 G.Kell 5-5 Strike Out b-0

Okay. Ordonez was thrown out at home on Jordy Mercer's single, leaving runners at 1st and 2nd. Brouhard hit a fly to left (not a ballpark single - 2-11 is a ballpark single against right handed pitchers but not left-handed Darren Oliver). The error on the shortstop loaded the bases before Kell struck out for the third out.

You had runners on 1st and 2nd, 2 outs when Aaron came to bat. The error had to happen on a force out, but the runners were not able to advance a base. Something like a dropped catch or a bad throw that was blocked so no runners could advance another base. That is my guess but I haven't seen it before. I don't dive into the box scores though, just the results of the game mostly.

Thanks..

So my center fielder Stearns got injured in the second game and Hal in the third game moved my catcher Molina 4 e25 to first base and started Cochrane who is not my catcher against lefties, Molina is. Hal could have put Greenburg at first who is 3 e8 and anyone else as DH off the bench and so Molina commits four errors that lead to 15 runs to extend innings even though only 2 were unearned. Thanks for nothing. https://365.strat-o-matic.com/game/466993/32

If you want Greenberg to be your backup first baseman, you have to actually list him as such. Otherwise HAL won't move him from the DH spot. Just one of those little quirks that you pick up on, the more you play (although I actually learned it here on the forum!)

HAL is still killing me with the spilt card numbers that come up on any given play, The Last one was Batter has a 1-5 gets a hit drives in a run in with 2 outs in a tie game the in the 8th down that run W.Mays comes up with a runner on 1st and get a 1-17 HR and flies out lose 3-2, it been like that in so many games or a team will get 6-7 rolls on the hitters card in late innings to score just enough to pull out a win, one of my starters has a 1.96 era and zero wins cause HAL brings in relief and seeing it doesnt matter who's pitching when every roll is on the hitters card. I've lost 11 games by 1 run scored in the last 2 innings and only 1 time it was on the pitchers card in 51 games,
