I always delegate Offense Strategy to my bench coach. I control the running game indirectly by setting individual strategy for each player. For each player I set Hit & Run and Sacrifice Bunt always to never to prevent my bench coach from making boneheaded decisions. If I want to sacrifice or play the hit & run I simply switch control back to me.
This way the only things I do not directly control with the Offense Strategy set to my bench coach is base running and bunt for hit.
For me this leads to more "natural" stealing and bunting for hits. Having to tell each batter on each pitch is offputting to me. If a situation comes up where I really want the runner to steal I simply go to player strategy and move the slider to max. Most of the time this leads to a steal attempt but not always. If a situation comes up where I absolutely do not want the runner to steal I simply take control over the offense.
