I do hold runners. Shifting not so much, but I look at the type of hitter they are.
I must admit, I am struggling with the in game play. It's making me want to Sim the whole thing, and if I do that, no point in playing. I hit and run, I bunt, I steal. I pinch hit.
As an aside, maybe it's the Mets. I have SIM'd through two seasons, and one time I had 57 wins, and the other time I had 65. I didn't realize they were that bad. Bad hitting, bad pitching.
I could go on, but I will stop.

There is a tendency to put too many plays on when managing in OOTP. IRL sacrifice hits occur once every every 3.6 games. If you assume a 70% (just my guess) success rate then legitimate attempted sacrifices occur once every 2.5 games. Fake attempts are sadly not available in-game and not counted IRL.
Stolen bases occur once every 1.76 games. Now there are a lot of aborted attempts but at a 72% success rate a resolved play, either a SB or a CS occurs once every 1.27 games. Infield hits just under 1 per game. Bunt hits once every 9 games.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that putting on too many plays might (and should IMO) result in bad outcomes.
