If he wanted to replace the 3rd baseman for some reason, the SS could have done that and the catcher could have caught.
During a game late last season he started my CF in left and my LF in center (he is purely a Left fielder), he later put a rookie first baseman in left, my backup catcher at 3rd, and an outfielder at short.  So half of my fielders were out of position. Not surprisingly, we lost the game on 4 unearned runs in the 13th inning.
Is this a problem with the game AI, or is it just my manager? If I fire the overpaid hack and hire another overpaid hack will I continue to get these ridiculous substitutions?
Would changing the manager's settings have any effect? For instance to favor defense over offense? |
It has been noted that for some reason the AI's decisions are patterned after Ned Yost's. Or Maury Wills. One of those kinda guys or maybe both, but not neither.
