In thinking about the new game, I wanted to make sure that Shaun is aware of potential issues still in the current release, so that they can be addressed in the new incarnation. I will make the disclaimer that some of these may be my own misunderstanding of MLB rules, but I'd like to discuss them any way. 1) It seems that not all Saves are being awarded. I am under the impression that if I bring a pitcher and he pitches for the 7, 8, and 9 innings, he gets a Save regardless of the score when he entered the game. My Closer is not getting this, though I've seen it given to some computer-controlled teams. 2) I don't think all Unearned Runs are being counted properly. 3) Sometimes a mystery Error will appear on the scoreboard, with no indication of who caused it or where it came from. What's weird is that the post-game summary doesn't show this Error on the Games page, nor in the Box Score BUT the Box Score lists an extra Error in the Fielding section and gives it to a player. So it actually shows your players making more Errors than the Box Score shows. The Game Log doesn't show any record of this Error, either. 4) Shouldn't you be aware of a Pinch Runner going in before you throw the first pitch? 5) Throwing in a Pinch Hitter after at least one pitch causes some interesting results. 6) Count versus current batter can go backwards after a(n) (attempted) steal. There was another one I had but now I can't remember it. I'm trying to focus on rules/glitches versus actual design decisions, so feel free to add your own.
