Get the ID of that BBO bot and remember to never double it. It's got the goods when it bids. 
As I've noted before, 9 card suits are meant to defend or be dummy. You're taking big risks in bidding past 2♠.

The East bot is genius, it beat par on the hand which is -200 E/W.

The 2♠ bid is equally as bad as both passes. My microwave could play better bridge

True. East only has a guaranteed 8 tricks in spades as trumps.
