Here are the notes I've been making while playing 5.10:

BUGS

I believe the play-by-play gets excited about people setting "new
league records" when in fact all they did was tie the record.

Similarly, "He leads the American League in wins" should be "He is
tied for the lead in the American League in wins", etc.

The All-Star Game seems to count towards players' stats.

REQUESTED FEATURES

It would be nice if when it shows your lineup before a game, you could
see which of the players in your lineup are tired. Because they're in the
game, they're green in the roster, which overrides the yellow tired
color. Maybe their color in the actual lineup could be different.

Often I begin a game, fiddle with my starting lineup, and then want to
keep it as my default. It would be nice to able to press a 'Make
default lineup vs LHP+DH' button (if I'm in the AL and facing a
lefty).

LITTLE TWEAKS

I know that batters are rated pull/spray/slap etc., but it still seems
that an awful lot of home runs are hit to the opposite field. It is
true that more home runs are hit to the opposite field these days, but
it still seems excessive.

It is weird to see players with great Walks ratings swinging when the
count is 3-0.

The play-by-play should not get excited about "new league records",
"new team records", etc. in the first season of a league, since new
records are getting set every day all season.

Knuckleball pitchers should get a bonus to their Duration rating.

TYPOS

Text still says e.g., "The Red Sox has a record of 10-3 at home."
"has" should be "have".

"he looks over to second,forcing the runner back..."
Should have a space after the comma.

"It's laced to left field for base-hit."
Should be "It's laced to left field for a base hit."
Note insertion of "a", and no hyphen.

"a swing... and missed!"
reads awkwardly.
"a swing... and a miss!" would be more idiomatic.

Similarly, "Smith swings... and missed!" should be "Smith swings... and misses!"

Scouting report: "John Smith should be a decent reliever, provided
your keep your expacations realistic." The first "your" should be
"you" and "expacations" should be "expectations."

"he simply steps on third-base..."
Should be "third base".

"Boston still trails by 1 runs."
Should be "run".

"William York is one of the league's premeire pitchers."
Should be "premier". "Premiere" means first.

"He's Out! Nice Play."
Should be "He's out! Nice play."

"That's a solo-homerun for Smith!"
"solo-homerun" should be "solo home run".

"Catcher's Interference Smith will go to first."
Should be "Catcher's interference. Sisco will go to first."
