"I just had a gut feeling," HAL said

6L Joe Page on the mound in a tie game. Intentionally walks 5R Weintraub to pitch to 6L Collins and 6L Harper, presumably because Weintraub has a single clutch $. Game over.

Nah...

Nothing to see here with the bullpen settings.

HAL recently intentionally walked Bill Joyce (L) 5.38m with 2nd and 3rd 2 out to pitch to Ted Frikkin Williams who went on to hit a Granny. Pitcher was Higbe a Righty and was F9 prior to walk and F5 after walk. That was fun!

In that vein ... I have D.Drysdale on a 6 IP max without any 'don't relieve before' setting. Rules say he gets pulled automatically. Last night he had a 6-0 lead after six. He pitched 8 innings (it was then 7-2).

I've seen several managing rules broken by Hal.
