HAL strikes again! Why even have "quick hook"?

[Larryrickenbacker]

Howdy,

This evening, my closer Jim Ray (70s league, ya'll) was allowed to blow a 5 run lead in the 9th by our hero HAL. Ray's having his best card. I've other good left and righty pitchers in my pen who've demonstrated thier worthiness.
I [i:da788ff8ad]also[/i:da788ff8ad] indicated "quick hook" on the back of Ray's card to prevent this type of blown save, or at least reduce the liklihood.Can anything be done to prevent HAL from blowing big leads with a fairly deep and good bullpen at his disposal?

there is no end to HAL and his comedy relief. I've had my fair share of conflicts with his humor and have grown very tired with trying to figure it out.

I looked at the game in question and unfortunately 4 of the runs were on one swing against Steve Yeager. In other words, with a different roll of the dice, so to speak, you could have had a double play and been out of the inning in good shape. Check your other managerial settings. Maybe you have Ray set as your closer vs. righties and closer usage set to "maximize"...If so, maybe "poor old Jimmy Ray" may need to take a seat farther down the bullpen bench.
