"Unless you manage your starters like Dusty Baker does, leaving them out there for 115-130 pitches, you'll want to keep and eye on their fatigue. If Johnny Cueto walks off the mound with no gas left in his tank, he won't magically regain all of his stamina for his next start. Even after five days of rest, he could enter the game at 70 or 80 percent. You'll probably have to pull him early which will likely result in the bullpen burning up."
"Rather than just thinking about the game at hand, you'll have to think about the entire season. If a division rival is coming to town next week, you may want to pull him early, even if he's mowing down the opposition."
"If a shortstop doesn't have a chance of gobbling up a grounder, he won't sprint after it or oddly switch back to default fielding position. He'll slow down and watch the play develop." (Animations like these add more realism to the game)
"(Players on the bench) will duck or scatter when a screaming liner heads their way. Pitchers will salute teammates who make nice plays and show signs of frustration in extended innings."
