Offense tips
On offense, if you get a man on first with no outs, bunt him to second and third. At worst, a man on third with two outs is the situation you now have, at best bases loaded. Have the man on third lead off (watch out for pickoff attempts). Watch the pitcher, and when the pitcher lifts his leg steal home, and bunt the ball. If the runner on third is too fast, the man at first will be thrown out or if he is too slow and cannot score you can turn him around and send him back to third. The computer will throw home and then to third. With good timing and a few good bunts you can score several runs. Also is you have first and second with no outs, try to hit a ground ball to the first or second basemen (while having the runner and 2nd stealing). Often, the computer will throw to 3rd and everyone will be safe. While pitching, hold up and the direction of the batter. This will send a slow curve ball to the plate. The computer swings at nearly everything. Be careful not to throw to far inside and hit the batter. This is best is using a pitcher with high control, and high fatigue if possible. If low fatigue factors, change pitchers every few innings. With the right control on the movement, you can keep the ball just inside the body of the batter and can get 27 K's. The computer will not always swing at these pitches but more often then not. You can mix it up with slow curves outside, and faster pitches, however both of these are dangerous as the hitter may hit the ball with the big part of the bat. Check all the players abilities, as team speed, pitching and defense can win ballgames, as well as hitting homeruns.
