I haven't seen this anywhere in tech so I figured I'd post it. There have been a few threads in the main forum about the bullpen AI and the misuse of pitchers.

For the most part, closers are being used in roles they shouldn't be. For example they'll come in the 7th inning and pitch to one hitter and be replaced. The closer should really only come in with the expectation of finishing the game in the 8th or 9th and a lead. They could also be used in extra innings by the home team or when most of the pen is depleted.

The other area is a bug where the relievers will come in and only throw to one hitter. They'll continue to do this and you'll end up with 5 pitchers with .1 innings and the last guy having to finish the last 3 innings because no one is left.

I'll see if I can get some others to post examples and their idea of fixes to it to better grasp the issues with the bullpen AI.
