CPU managers using relievers way too much

[cgm110]

Is there a "fix" for the CPU using a reliever a ridiculous amount? I was playing in the 15th game of my season, and Bud Black just brought in a pitcher making his 12th appearance. Any Help would be appreciated

The CPU bullpen logic is just perennially bad. CPU teams will continually underutilize their pen, miss out on obvious L/R matchup opportunities, and leave guys in far too long.

The best you can do is manage the CPU bullpen yourself in your games.

The other option is to wait for the CPU to yank his SP, then crank up the CPU Manger Hook slider to 10, then turn it back down again at the start of your next game. Rinse and repeat. This will help, but it still leaves a lot to be desired as the CPU will continue to ignore obvious matchup opportunities and still leave guys out to dry a bit too long, but it certainly does help.

That had to be Adam Ottovino. He put up Mike Marshall type numbers i my last season (101 appearances IIRC). The most in the last 20 years was the Pirates Salomon Torres with 94 appearances.

The Dodgers also abuse Pedro Baez
