I want to see what people think. I disclaim that I am an OOTP vet, but am very open to ideas from others.

I do exactly that. One pitch mode for ST, every game. I make sure to limit starters' innings, especially early on. The results don't matter to me. The whole exercise for me is about gradually getting reps in and checking out a few non roster invitees, prospects, etc. I don't care if none of this makes a difference but I would care if the computer manager overtaxed my starters and got one or more of them injured
