Question on Manager Options

Posted By Cary

Last season, I encountered several times a problem when I was at home. The robot would list a particular pitcher for the visiting team, at which time I set my lineup. When the game starts, I found myself facing a different pitcher. This is particularly rough when you have a platoon lineup and have your "lefty" lineup in because of a named lefty starter and find yourself actually facing a righty. Is there anyway to correct this?

Also, if you have an ace that should be able to pitch a lot of innings, is there any way to try and keep him in the game when on the road other than designating his role as "ace rotation" and your bullpen use as very conservative? Any other hints?
