I am seeing quite a few blowouts happen this way... when a starter gets pulled early, CPU manager put in a mediocre (long) reliever in to pitch a few innings, potentially exhausting energy. But the game is already wide open so CPU lets the reliever eat some innings anyway, and with confidence/energy pretty much zeroed out he continues to pitch poorly. So it's kind of a runaway situation.

No acknowledgement of an issue. It is being investigated and looked at.

I have hook on 5 and have basically no issues with early hooks on starters and closers. Like I had said....for me I have only seen it 2 times in over 100 hours of gameplay now.

The team is very receptive and they have responded IMO with updates and fixes to many many legit issues.

For me this game is near damn perfect. And I know it never will be perfect.

I am now playing on quick counts (made the switch after 1.06) and pitch counts look awesome for starters and logic has been sound (and it was sound for me on full counts). I don’t think AI will ever be perfect....but it is really strong for the most part on The Show.

So hopefully if they do find a legit issue with CP being pulled too early and the warm up issue they will get it fixed on the next update.
