Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

The wrong end of a rare 8 IP no hitter.

This is in one of Andy's era leagues.

Wow, rough outing for Worthington. He gives up the walk, gets charged with the ER that lost the game and goes down with a 10 game injury.

Quick hook for Schilling after just 89 pitches. There should be a logic similar to what real ML managers do, stretching the pitchcount for a guy on a no-no - and then have that guy pitch from F6 fatigue for his next two outings.

My question would be - why walk Bud Harrelson (BUD HARRELSON!) to get to Eddie Stanky who practically walks half the time he bats? With two outs and runners on second and third - is it just to get the force out at second? Does HAL ever consider the next batter? I don't think it's worth it. Those intentional walk sequences just drive me nuts! In a game the other day - same situation - second and third, two outs, Eddie Mathews up! Holy Crap! HAL issues an intentional walk - don't want to let Eddie Mathews get a hit. Let's see who's up next........DOH! Mickey Mantle! Bingo bango bongo.......GRAND SLAM!
WTF?!

You have a point about whether Hal should consider who is up next. But most real life managers issue the intentional walk in situations where it sets up a double play regardless of who is up next. So I will cut Hal some slack on this one.

Possible double play wasn't in order in either of these situations. Second and third, TWO (2) outs.
