So that makes me wonder if results are not pre-determined, then back-filled into a box score that looks "reasonable". I wonder this also because of my experience with Don Newcombe in iron league tournaments. I formerly used him as DH, and RP. When he comes in the game as a RP, the AI had the foresight to use someone else as DH for that game. How can the AI know in advance that Don Newcombe would be needed to be a RP late in that game?

Was the rest/majority of your bullpen tired for that game? If so, AI probably realized Newcombe would be needed out of the pen so used someone else at DH (either your backup, or whoever it figured would best fit if you didn't set a backup)?
