I Can't Understand the Robot!!

Posted By Cary

I just played an away series. I had selected my starting pitchers and lineups for each game. In game 4, I had selected Jason Johnson to start. He was/is not injured and was at his Max BFA (30). Of course, the robot chose to ignore that and started relief pitcher Jim Brower. Since Brower had never started in the regular season, the predictable result: 5 IP and 9 Earned runs.

Now maybe Johnson would have lost as well, but I feel that the robot pretty much forced me to lose that game. Why does this happen??? Obviously I need to know this so I can try and prevent it from happening again. But what is the point in even trying to manage an away series if the robot ignores your wishes and makes idiotic selections to keep you from having any chance of winning? How do I prevent the robot from doing this???
