Towards the end of the game, I'll sim batter by batter (in one-pitch mode) to make situational substitutions.

With that said, let's get on to 1981.
As a possible alternative:

In OOTP 13 I played several game years by letting the game sim to the beginning of the seventh inning. If I was two runs or more ahead/behind, then I autosimmed half an inning at the time til either that wasn't true, or the game ended.

If the game was close, I'd play the game out in one pitch mode - primarily to control my relief pitchers and any subs.
