[Deft]

Reading some threads, I wanted to see if others run into a common scenario I encounter. I play 3D usually one pitch mode.

Team gets a rally and has the opposing starter on the ropes in mid-innings. One or two runs already in and runners on second and third sometimes with bases loaded and the heart of order coming up with no outs.
The AI team pulls the starter and puts in a spare long innings guy with terrible movement rating that happens to be not facing hitters from the same side of the plate (lefty pitcher/righty batter). I am thinking we can at least pick up one run maybe more but instead, the reliever comes in and strikes out the side or at least the first two and third hitter weakly getting out.

Whenever this happens I am always struck by what are the odd? Is it just the AI preserving the statistics of the outgoing pitcher or is the AI just better at knowing the right situation on bringing in the scrub. I have seen when the scrub starts an inning without inherited runners, he fairs much worse.
