Would anyone be kind enough to take me through their own playing style for a play by play match.
So for instance...
1. Do you always swing? When would you take a pitch and in what circumstances? When would you bunt (I'm presuming you'd only do this with a player who had a high bunt for hit rating unless trying to get a player on third base home?) Again, is there a good time/circumstance to hit and run or run and hit?
2. When pitching in what circumstances would you pitch around (when up against a dangerman?), and when if ever would you bother to pitch out?
Is there a good time to use hold runner, other than when you have two bases loaded?
3. Is there ever a good time to steal bases or throw to prevent a base being stole? It seems random to me and although I've stolen a couple of bases with a quick batter I've never ever got anyone out with a throw to a base.

I'm letting the ai control field placements for defence at the moment.

I could really use a few pointers if any of you guys have time to share your knowledge. I'm beginning to get frustrated after so many one-sided beatings or late game losses that it would be wonderful even to take a game to overtime.

thanks in advance...

4. Anything else I'm missing?
