Micro Manager Pedro? Any thoughts?
-
Anyone use Pedro? I am looking for an upgrade over Malcolm. Does he utilize the bullpen better? I have autoplayed as played 50 games into the season for each team. I randomly picked the 84 Braves to look at the stats and Malcolm has barely used their best relievers.
What are your thoughts on Pedro?

APBA Go is a great game, but Pedro is more of the same. For whatever reason, APBA Go has not yet mastered the automanager. APBA Go’s automanagers consistently use SPs as relievers and automatically take out SPs in the 7th inning. Makes no sense, especially considering how other game developers automanagers are much much better.

@chaneyhey Pedro also seems to let a relief pitcher bat for himself and then remove him for another reliever.

Pedro the automanager, in an autoplayed game using the 2005 season, pulled the starter (Barry Zito) in the 3rd inning when down by the score of 4-1 and replaced him with Mariano Rivera, who proceeded to throw 6 2/3 innings. Pulling Zito in the 3rd was fine, even though I wouldn’t have done that, but bringing in Rivera to throw 6 2/3 after that was ???

I’ve had very little success with Malcolm or Pedro. They both make very strange decisions. I often play with older seasons and none of the pitchers have the relief pitcher *. Even if I make all the starters unavailable, it doesn’t help. Malcolm is notorious for picking any random player, such as an outfielder, as a relief pitcher, even if that player doesn’t have a pitching grade. Pedro tends to leave starters in even when they are getting shelled, or will pull the starter early and let the reliever pitch 6 or 7 innings. I’ve had Pedro let a reliever give up 5 runs and not pull him. For now, I’ve given up on the auto-managers and continue to hope they get fixed one day.
