I was down 8-4 in the bottom of the eighth, had a runner on second with no outs. My left hand hitter got walked by the AI's right handed pitcher to face a slightly weaker righty.

Needless to say that part of me was delighted and part of me was disappointed.

I came back to win 11-8.

This could use fixing, though I grant it may not be easy. It is hard to say "never" with regard to intentional walks, but I think it's safe to say that the computer should never issue an IW when it is ahead by more than 3 runs and the guy being walked represents neither the tying run nor the winning run. Let him a hit a homer if he has to, since he is neither the tying run, nor the winning run.
