Suggestion

If possible, please make AI more aware of pitching when end of season rolls around. Basically, the way it is now, a team can have a 5 game lead going into the final weekend and it will still pitch whatever pitchers happen to be next in line. I'm sure it would be difficult but it would be nice if teams could set up pitching for the playoffs when that luxury is available. I also just had a one game playoff for the wildcard where team A pitched a 22-11 pitcher against a 4-7 pitcher who had thrown less than 100 innings and had a 5+ ERA. They had a solid starting pitcher at 85% (threw 43 pitches 4 days before) that should definitely have been given that start. After playing 162 games, it is a shame that the teams don't "realize" that it is all or nothing for one game. Even have starters in the bullpen for those games.


Reason

I think this is very important for reasons stated above. A team plays 162 games and has to A) play a one game playoff or B) go through the last week or so with the division wrapped up and the computer doesn't handle the pitching any differently than it would in mid June.

Priority

Medium to high IMO
