I've reached my own conclusion, this totally doesn't work. Past few games, set on Very Aggressive, we've been pitching to guys with 95+ power no matter what.
33 games, leading the league in intentional walks, but only 6th in total walks. I totally trust my pitchers to get the guy after the power hitter, yet we keep pitching to the power hitter.
The manager setting says "A more aggressive setting will walk power hitters with the bases empty and no outs." Seems like that's ALL it does. It doesn't walk the power hitter with two men on.
Yes, I'm just complaining now. Sorry for wasting your time.
Ah hell. I suppose if the setting did what I want it to, we'd all use it, and the big hitters would end up with about 400 walks per season.
