I still allow the cpu to handle all staffs, but by editing the era settings and pitcher endurance ratings, most good pitchers finish games. In fact, Johnny Kraly (star pitcher for the Roxford club) finished every game he started in 1957. One side effect of this is that relivers move around the league since they get upset about playing time and file for free agency. Oh well, who cares since the Metros reliever is an obscure player, sort of like punters in football. Also, I make quite a few starting pitchers into good bunters and base runners, which minimizes the pinch hitting somewhat. In fact, Mike Bordi (star pitcher for the Oakdale Spiders) is currently on a 19 game hitting streak. Hey, in the Metros pitchers can be the most complete players in the league, although few hit this well. Will still be doing some tweaking, though.

I glad you found a workaround. I play 1950's era baseball, so I need to use relievers, but not the way the AI uses them. I never found a way to sim and get anything close to real life baseball, so I just sim the first six innings and then play out the rest of the game. I get very realistic stats this way...and more importantly, I found that I enjoy the league much, much better, because I really get to know the players.
