Maybe I am the only one who feels this way for so long version after version but why does MLB The Show 18 and all earlier versions CPU Bullpen logic make such terrible pitching decisions all the time?
Good example
I was playing an exhibition game between the Houston Astros me vs Detroit Tigers CPU. And Pitcher "Michael Fulmer" CPU in my opinion was pitching very well against me. It was top of the 7th and he had only thrown 44 pitches and given up no runs and 7 hits. So anyway I see the Tigers already have pitchers warming up in the bullpen which I think is crazy. And so my lead off guy gets a little base hit into right field which makes it 45 pitches and 8 hits total for CPU Pitcher Michael Fulmer and sure enough the CPU pulls him for a reliever right after that hit.
Now I admit I am not the most knowledgeable baseball guy in the world but my god don't you think that is just crazy for pulling your number 1 starting pitcher after only throwing 45 freaking pitches and 8 hits with a 2-0 lead?
I mean this is even worse bullpen managing then Phillies new manager Gabe kapler!
lol
Why has this been an issue for so long without getting fixed?
Thanks
