Yeah, this is a major frustration. Unless you play out each game the AI (or manager) will use subs the way he (it) wants to. It really affects relief pitching as the AI will continue to use the same relievers over and over, even if they are bad, while it will not use others having better years, unless the game is lost. I don't doubt that this could cost 3-8 wins per season, depending on the circumstances.

We should be able to force the issue by designating first out of bullpen (if not tired) second and so on.
