Hey Pared, just some observations from your sliders after 20 or so games:

-I've been noticing the CPU taking way too many called third strikes, it's like every hitter is becoming Ben Grieve and just not wanting to swing. I've had some at-bats where the CPU has struck out on full counts, and they didn't swing the entire at-bat.

-With the CPU pitcher's ball rate increased, it seems that the CPU pitchers are getting themselves into trouble too often, and its resulting in huge innings. Maybe its because I'm very patient, but I've drawn walks with pitchers against the CPU on what seems to be a too frequent basis

-The pitch counts are going pretty well for both sides, but this seems to hurt the CPU more than it hurts the Human, because it's almost as if the CPU doesn't know when it absolutely needs to throw stirkes (i.e. runners on 1st and 2nd, average hitter at the plate, but a masher is on deck, and the CPU walks the average hitter). Because of this it seems I can get 4 or 5 run innings too often, because the CPU falls behind in the majority of at-bats.
