On the DH and OOTP.

...when I fast-sim.

The game doesn't model the DH well. Instead of using a defensive liability who can hit at the position, OOTP just uses "a hitter" in the DH role, so it means you often see DHs hitting 6-9th in the AL lineup and that doesn't make a whole lot of sense without injuries given how the role has been used in modern times.

It's fine in an online league where everyone will act intelligently about it, but when you rely on the AI, it doesn't work as well and so, while I like the rule in real life, I finally nuked it from my MLB save because it's not modeled right.
