Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders

This is super helpful, and I'll definitely appreciate seeing your updates.

As for the bullpens in September, I'm assuming you're talking about the AI teams and where they slot guys? The most important part is to ensure guys stay out of that long reliever role as much as possible, or if you have to have someone there, just make sure it's a lesser pitcher with some stamina.

You can take it a step further by ensuring their best RP isn't ALWAYS in the setup role, or at least not their top 2 guys after the closer. Basically, I want one of those top 3 RPs in a MR slot so that they'll get used more often.

I really really hope Show 20 makes some adjustments to bullpen and starting staff logic, but I'm not optimistic, unfortunately. I have legitimate reason to believe nothing was changed in regards to pitching logic, and with the new 3-batter minimum, I am worried that no adjustments to substitution logic were made to counter how MLB teams will handle pitching staffs. This 3-batter minimum could end making things worse.

We shall see though. I hope I am wrong.
