If a player needs a home run for the cycle, the level of the alert varies depending upon the determination of the Cycle Detection Warning System, which is headquartered in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.
Baseball Toaster runs on some experimental software called Fairpole. It's still under development.
For more information, please visit the Fairpole blog, or read the FAQ.

After writing about Joe Cleary, the player with the highest non-infinite ERA in major league history, Charlie Bevis of the SABR BioProject tells us the story of Skeeter Shelton, who has the lowest career batting average of anyone who got a hit.
Shelton went 1 for 40 for the 1915 Yankees. No, he was not a pitcher. Nor was he Wil Nieves.
This life story does not have a happy ending.
Randy Tate, a pitcher for the 1975 Mets, had the most ABs in a career without a hit: 41.
