If I were to call for a sac fly and they failed to execute it, that's certainly understandable. The pitcher could be a groundball pitcher and the batter might just not have the ability to do it well. My main frustration is that I don't even get the chance to call for it. Even if it was only successful 50% of the time, I'd just like to be able to say "go out there and try to hit a sac fly" as opposed to clicking "swing away" as it is my only option to choose.
I just hate when it seems that my players aren't even trying to do it in a situation that obviously calls for it (if they are trying and failing to execute, I wouldn't know though). Even if the PbP gave an indication that he tried, I would be satisfied ("He tries to bring the runner home with a sacrifice but grounds out instead!" would be sufficient). I'd just like to know they're trying, if they are!
Just one of those trivial things that bugs me.
