I'm the opposite, I like managing more the GM'ing. I usually check each line-up for my team to make sure everything is fine. Check disabled list and AAA's that might need to fill some gaps. Then I play a game. If nothing big going on, I one pitch. If trying to steal, or squeeze etc., I play each ball. And when nothing is really going on division-wise, I may play just a couple innings, but then 'quick game' to end. I'm about 50-50 for going a full game, or 'quick' the end. I like to get to know how folks are doing in the grit of it all, so when I read the newspaper and see one of my folks getting some creds, I feel good about 'cause I been there with him. But there so many, many ways to do it, you can just play it the way it's best to you. All is good!
