The K's in there, I haven't seen. Imagine the bullpen situation starts like this over and over would cause. I have almost no bench hitters because I have to stack my bullpen after starts like these on the settings I attached earlier.
In real life, games like this are a relative rarity. In OOTP, they are commonplace, at least in my experience and nothing I can do, nothing, will change this in during the course of the game. All the developers have built into this game is the option for me to remove him and replace him with another pitcher who invariable, repeats the disaster.
For others considering this game, explore my list of issues and the repeated suggestions that this game might not be for me. If this list concerns you, OOTP might not be right for you either.

It appears that you and I may be playing very different games. I play out every game for my team in my current fictional league, letting the AI manage based upon my strategy settings and 7-day lineups, stepping in just occasionally to force a pitching change. I haven't experienced anything like what you are describing here. I don't presume that my experience is universal. However, based upon the evidence from others here it would appear that my experience doesn't vary widely from the norm.
I am sorry that you have had such a bad experience. I can't explain it and I won't attempt to try. I would simply caution you though that it might not be wise to presume that your experience is universal either.
