How to focus lefty reliever against lefties

jmknpk2 · 06-17-2011, 06:01 AM

In my online league, I have only one left handed reliever.

He is lights out (2.13 ERA) versus lefties, but horrible (5.37 ERA) against right handers.

Unfortunately, the AI is using him more for right handers than left handers.

Is there a way to get the AI to use him only to face left handers?

I think there's a strategy setting for it, called "favour handedness" or something.

If you really want control of your bullpen you should play the games out. One thing you could do is sim the first 4 innings and all half innings you are on offense. Then you can just play out the pitching in the last 5 innings so you can manage the bullpen.

Under the strategy tab you can set your strategy by situation and/or by inning. The last goup of sliderss has an option for "Favor L/R matchup". I am assuming this refers to pitchers.

Hard to do in an online league.
