I didn't think I would have to explain what "hard evidence" is, but it appears that I'll have to do just that. Here's an example of hard evidence:

So what was the total # of solo homers?

They must think it's a conspiracy.. which isn't tangible.

It was a whole hell of a lot I'll tell you that. Cespedes in my franchise is a beast; I hate facing him.

Same here, Coco Crisp is another guy on their team that I have trouble keeping off base and if he gets on, it's pretty much a given that he's running!

I just played 2 games in my franchise as the Indians against the Red Sox and got blown out in both.
In the first I never led, was down 6-0 after 6 and ended up losing 8-2. My onlu runs came on 2 solo homers in the 8th.
In the second game I trailed 7-0 after 2 (Tomlin got shelled) and ended up losing 9-3. My only runs came on a 2 run blast in the 8th (Red Sox left Matsuzaka in obscenely long) and a double and a 2-out single in the 9th.
While I did eventually score in these games (mostly due to pitcher fatigue and the fact the Red Sox didn't have to use the good part of their bullpen), I'd hardly say some comeback code was the cause of my runs.

Oh, and I WAS the hometeam.

Well, I don't think it's a conspiracy, nor do I think it's a coded script. But u can assume my thoughts if you want. It's just the way the game plays out for me. Sorry not every one knows how to post screen shots or film and post all their games. Just sharing my experience. I've played baseball for over 20 years and I currently still play. So your 'that's baseball' comment that assumes I don't know baseball is also a little off color. The fact that this is an age old debate surrounding the game means there's something to it. I'm sure if you are playing a normal game, and you are good at this game u can avoid some of the comebacks other people experience. I myself play rtts an observe the comebacks(both in my teams favor, and against me) on the reg. and clearly I'm not the only one. But that's ok, dismiss my thoughts cuz I can't physically show you my tv screen

Haha, death, taxes, and comeback code threads...I normally don't like to add to these threads, but they really make me wonder if people are watching MLB in real life. Even looking back at the small sample of size of the 2012 playoffs, I remember several instances of "late inning goofiness.". That's the beauty of baseball! Late innings, add a little tension into this mix, mistakes are amplified and more costly. This is my favorite game, I love how tense it can get the late innings, and I can't wait to see how the addition of the playoff atmosphere plays out!
