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.

The Chunichi Dragons evened the Japan Series at one win apiece with an 8-1 victory over the Nippon Ham Fighters at the Sapporo Dome.
The Fighters had just four hits and have only six in the first two games. Fernando Seguignol homered for Nippon Ham's only run. Byung Kyu Lee and Masahiko Morino hit two-run homers for the Dragons.
The series resumes Tuesday in Nagoya. Games 3, 4, and 5 will be played in the Central League champions park.
Joe Posnanski's view on the series so far.
Nippon Ham won last year. Their long drought prior to that (1962) was mainly because the team was bad.
