Not to take this off topic, but if you think that's bad, you should play PGA Tour 2K21. There are people who have turned that game into a math problem that is solved for every shot, which leads to them shooting scores in the 50s, even on the hardest of courses. I never understood how that would be fun, but to each his/her own.
Back on topic, I've always assumed that there's a slight negative effect on pitchers when they have to pitch with runners on, regardless of whether you use the "hold" function or not. I would certainly think not using "hold" would increase the likelihood of a stolen base and negate a good hold rating for the pitcher. But I really don't play out a ton of games, so I don't have any first-hand evidence of those beliefs.
