Is this type of behavior of using pitch counts to goad the AI into using the wrong roster intended? I mean, it's exactly the same strategy as using an opener, just using a weird strategy preset so that the opposing roster construction AI screws up. I'm sure there are higher priorities on the development list, but surely there is a relatively straightforward way to solve this.

Even something as simple as implicitly designating any RP in the starting rotation as an opener, then using the most rested Emergency SP (or most rested long reliever if there are none Emergency SPs, or just abandoning the routine if there are neither) as the likely follower. It seems there must not be a script written to find a likely follower to pair with an opener if no user-designated follower exists, otherwise this would seem to be pretty straightforward.
