relief roles

Posted By Eric Hansen

In a playoff game in 2000trad1, I had a 9-1 lead going into the 9th. The robot pulled the starter, and put in Munoz, assigned to middle relief. Fine. When Munoz allows the tying run to come to the plate, the robot puts in Hansell, assigned to long relief, to face Larry Walker. Lefthander Swindell is ready, and assigned to short relief, and zimmerman is ready, assigned as my closer. Can someone explain why the robot made the choice it did? This may have possibly cost me the series (walker might have hit his slam anyway, who knows, but my gut tells me otherwise)
