I wonder about a couple of things here. For me to not have this problem, and for OFG to say it's "the two hundredth time this is happend (AT LEAST, probably more)" begs two questions:
- Is OFG exaggerating the situation?
- Has OFG altered the settings in his game, like lowering pitcher stamina or raising reliever frequency to very often, and who knows what else?

Totally agree. I don't alter active roster sizes or anything else and I don't see this as a problem. Anymore. A few versions back, it was a big problem, but I haven't seen it as a problem in either of the last two versions, at least.
Can't really imagine what the problem might be, but he definitely needs to look at all the potential "strategy" options that could effect reliever fatigue. There is "use of relievers" and "pitcher stamina" on the "General Strategic Tendencies" side, and then there is "Relief Pitcher Stamina" on the "Modifier" side.
It's my experience that the AI does a much better job of properly using a bullpen (Lefty/Righty matchups for one) than before, so I'd be willing to bet that his problems lie somewhere in his settings. If this were an "out of the box" problem, there would have been much screaming and dismay.
There are many, many things that can cause "settings" issues in this game, like converting leagues from version to version for example, and keeping an eye on the overall league settings is something that should be done regularly as such. It's not for the faint of heart, and in the end probably does chase off a few customers, but for the most part, if you'll spend some time with the various options the game offers, you'll get it right (or close enough), with relative ease. At least IMHO.
