What is up with the computer manager. I n my last 3 game series all 3 of my starting pitchers were removed before facing a single hitter. None were injured. Most ridiculous thing That the computer mgr. has done yet and it has done some pretty ridiculous things. For some reason it can't figure out that when you select maximize closer usage, that in a close situation you want your designated closer to be put in the game. not your .50 mop up pitcher . this is very frustrating and it continues to happen. If they can't get this problem fixed I will probably quit playing. Can't stand stupid. And to pay to have stupid inflicted on my teams is just too frustrating to continue paying to watch.

I agree, what happened? I had the same thing happen in four different games in two different card sets. Thank God for Butch Henry, and Bruce Sutter as I won 3 out of the four. Henry relieved 10 2/3 innings the first two games of my 90's team winning both, then went out and lost his start, pitching a 6 hitter, going 17 innings in the 3 games....
