They have the cleanup hitter bunt with 2 strikes all the time, stupid would never happen.

It’s just completely unrealistic. If a guys a fringe player or platooning and he makes a boneheaded play yeah he’s gonna sit. But not a starter who is clearly the best option. It’s all about numbers now anyway, most managers wouldn’t even have the authority to do that. Leading league in Homers RBI slugging at break top 5 in avg ops at All-Star break gets 85 ABs in second half. Would never happen

They bunt with 2 strikes a lot which never happens and is next to impossible to defend if playing normal at 3rd

I had MVP (possible triple crown) numbers won homerun derby played in All-Star game was immediately benched because of base running mistakes after all star break and relegated to pinch hitting duty. Team traded for another 3rd baseman before deadline. I think there should be a way to request a trade if this happens. It’s also completely unrealistic as the team I was on was in its second consecutive 100 loss season no way that would happen in real life. I just think there should be a way to talk to manager, coaching staff, GM, Agent at anytime instead of waiting for manager to talk to you not just have to rot on bench. I was also “bros” with 20 players on the team in real life if the player himself isnot storming in to managers office his teammates certainly are. If it’s possible to fix this in an update I think it would make for much more realistic gameplay. It’s really my only issue with an otherwise great game.
