I have basically seen this kind of thing happen with all versions of MLB The Show. It really is one of the weakest points of the game.

I really hope the CPU AI Bullpen and Manager logic has greatly improved and became much smarter and more like real life coaches and manager decisions in MLB The Show 16!

And to add on to that I would love to also see manager tendencies in MLB The Show some day

Bottom line MLB The Show CPU AI needs to be smarter!!!
In manage mode - default sliders - I'm not seeing what your are reporting.

Sometimes with a big lead the CPU will leave the starter in the game to throw 130 or so pitches which few modern era managers. There are not as many throws to first as IRL but in the past there were too many throws to first and I'd rather they leave it like it is than "fix" it. For the most part the CPU manages the games well.

I'm not familiar with exhibition mode, perhaps the limit pitch counts as is the case in exhibition games.
