Can you help? Managing D-Backs (2005). Spring Training, have played 7 lost 6 (1 win a fluke)!
What basic tactics would i be best advised employing at the start of the first few innings and then later e.g 6th onwards if scores tied, or behind by a few etc (ALL help welcome). Would prefer quite aggressive tactics rather than conservative.
What is the best way to set Batters line up? (High on Base Percentage to lead off or Hitting Average)? What then further down the order?
Also is there a bug in the game? Had the bases loaded on a bout 5 occasions in this time, each time still with 2-3 outs remaining, yet never managed to convert even a single. (Bunts foul out then struck out Bunting). Am I missing a useful tactic here.
Cheers.

Don't bunt with the bases loaded. Just hit away. Even a pitcher may get a ground ball out to score 1 run. A sacrifice fly is about 50% likely.

Cue music; You realize you've just entered the Twilight Zone. A zone of addiction, obsession. Late nights staring into that bright light. Quick turn back now, if you know what's good for you! The Baseball Season never ends in the Twilight Zone
