It's nobody's fault. It's just how the game seems to play out for me personally. I don't know what the solution is or if there even was one. Maybe the manage-only aspect of the game needs more attention paid to it in lieu of something else. While it would be nice if that happened, I'm not going to make any demands because I'm not going to be able to help beta test it. Not gonna demand the change I'm not able/willing to work for, you know.
To clarify further - this doesn't seem to be the case with GM-only saves.

I definitely can empathize on the AI aspect of roster moves when playing manager only - which I've been doing for 8 years or so now...it's the only way to play for me anymore...and those boneheaded moves just add to the challenge.
As far as the clutch-ness, I will just say, perception is a funny thing. My own human coached team holds the record in my long lasting save for most runs in an inning with 18. Funny thing is, this was the first inning of the first game of the season in my long lasting save started 8 years ago when I made the switch. The other team burned 4 pitchers in that first inning. I had to go and double check all my settings after the game because I thought I messed something up. But I didn't. Why does perception matters ? Because had it been the CPU team that got 18 runs in that first inning against the Pirates...
I don't know you, obviously, but it appears that maybe you are suffering from recency bias. You've perhaps had a few bad luck moments in a row, and now every time the other team rallies you tie it to that moment to justify feeling like the CPU is always clutch. It more than likely isn't and I'll even venture so far as to say your team also probably has its own clutch moments you may be disregarding as "pure luck".
