If you're pulling your guy at 88 pitches and "Obviously, it's your call, but I can still pitch" then you would be closer to 103 pitches if you left them, which is what the AI could be doing. At that the difference is negligible and runs into small sample size issues. Game 2 gets evened out by Game 3

I didn't see anything overtly strange in Game 2.
However, now I'm an additional game into the season. I took a look league-wide for pitch counts. FIFTY pitchers in the first four days of the season threw over 100 pitches. 26 pitchers threw 110+ and eight threw 120+.
Something is wrong. This is with stamina on low with hook at minus-3.
Edit: Due to time constraints, I had to exit out and I'll take a closer look later. However, I noticed that one of the 120+ outings was in five innings. I invite anyone to show me a recent (last decade) game where this has happened in real life.
