I haven't noticed it being that bad, certainly not as bad as last year. The only time they take a pitcher out before he gets close to his pitch count on my game is when either A) he gets injured, or B) he gets walloped by my offense for more than 5 runs.
In that sense it seems pretty true to life. Unfortunately for the computer option B is happening quite a bit in my Orioles 'chise. That is not true to life
