I'm playing with the Yankees and even though there are several pitchers on the team with very strong ratings (Sabathia, Burnett, Soriano, Rivera, Robertson, Chamberlain) every single one of them is getting lit up. I don't think I have anyone on the staff after 8 games who has an ERA under 6. To make matters worse two of my starting pitchers suffered injuries in the first few innings of a game.

I'm watching pitch counts and talking to my pitchers to see how tired they are. What can I do to cut-down on run-away games?

Also there doesn't appear to be any indication of what configuration my defense is in. Do I have to change it for every batter, or does my last assigned defense stay until I manually change it?

If I could just figure out how to keep opposing teams from scoring 7 runs a game it would be a lot more fun :\
