Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Greg. Enjoy the turkey.

I looked at your series to verify the problems. I see why you are frustrated - the 14-12 loss in extra innings was about as poorly managed game(RPs) as I've seen.

Can you share how you had your settings? Are you absolutely sure you had a role set for every single pitcher? Mike has said on this board that leaving even just one pitcher without a role will cause the robo to go crazy.

I don't think you did have a SP ready for game 4. Traschel would have been at 29.(33-31+27). That one was you, not the robo, I think.

Taguchi at 2B? Lovely. With Kinkade in CF. Priceless. I don't think I've seen that before. I also noticed that you've had Alou play an entire game at 2B earlier in the year. Did you do that or did the robo?

You said you had the pen set to "relieve". Was that on agressive or conservative? Not that I can think of a setting that says to leave your closer on the bench while your pen gives up a 4-run lead, then a 5-run lead the next inning! I just want us all to understand if there is anything we can do to avoid the bizarre behavior. I am generally impressed by the strategy built into the robo, but it did manage your team badly that series.
