Starters pitching back to back ganes

[BrianM207]

I just played 2 games against the Pirates and Jon Neise started both of them.

Has anyone else seen this/can think of a reason why it would occur?

Did the Pirates do any roster managing? That would be the only reason I could think of.

I personally have not seen this.

Im actually right in the middle of game 2 so I cant check at the moment...

But after I posted I thought that theres a chance Neise could be in their bullpen and filled in for back to back pre game injuries.

It would still be weird that they would start him back to back thou. Ill have to check when Im done.

I've seen this happen and this was precisely the reason, the CPU treats a certain bullpen guy as spot starter and if a spot starter is needed to go two days in a row for some reason they'll start him (probably if his fatigue better than 50%).

If they make a roster move the computer redoes the pitching rotation and can make this happen. I have had to correct it in my season when the computer auto changed my rotation.

In your franchise the CPU took control of my roster starting Dellin Betances (the closer) in consecutive games. It called a starter from triple a and Wade Miley was sitting in the bullpen as the long reliever but it thought it would be better if my closer started back to back games.

Well, upon further review, there was no injuries to the Pirates(no one even on the dl at all), and Neise is slotted in the rotation. So just a bizarre occurance

I really want to just set 29 teams to auto - but, I feel as thought I have to micro-manage every little detail in this game. How can they not fix this pathetic logic ? The game is sooooo good overall that I am willing to micro-manage.
