Starters relieving and Save opportunities

[DennisOK]

Two quirks I have noticed:

1. I play 2017 Houston vs. 2017 LA Dodgers (computer) a lot, and the computer brings in Kershaw to relieve frequently though he never relieved in the regular season (he did once in the playoffs).

2. I brought a reliever in for the 9th with a 10-1 lead, no one scored and my reliever was credited with the save.

1. That’s the way it goes with the Micro Manager, will go with best available pitcher in relief whether a reliever or not. It’s not an error; it’s a deliberate choice on the part of the programmer. To inject more realism, you need to play in Solitaire mode.
2. The game score rules are not set up quite right in the programming vis-a-vis awarding saves.

I get the same thing…David Price has become the #1 reliever for Boston 2018.

I have moved to solitaire mode and don’t regret it. Just like the tabletop that way.

@dennisok With no support for fatigue and usage and whatnot, they Micro managers are going to have a hard time being smart. I always just play both teams… which is what I would do in replays anyway.
