I summon my lefty from the pen, who promptly drills the first batter (forcing in a run), then walks the next guy on 4 pitches (forcing in another), before getting the 3rd batter to pop up. 
Not sure what's what, but there are DEFINATELY a vast amount more of bases loaded passed balls, walks, and hit batsmen in this versus real life, regardless of what its programmed to do. |
I'm not saying you are wrong, but you can't expect anyone to get excited about anecdotal evidence. You need a chart of how often it actually happens in real life and a chart of how often it occurs in your games.
As a side note: playing games out in one pitch mode, the game goes much quicker than real life and this lends itself to pattern recognitions that we don't see while watching an actual game. Many times these patterns seem like oddities, when in fact the patterns exist in actual games, but have just gone unnoticed to us because of the pace of play.
