The simulation generates WAY too many errors (even for this defense), which leads to many extended innings and the bullpen always being exhausted.
I've tried letting starters who are getting hammered stay in the game to soak up their innings but soon THEY are exhausted as well (needle all the way into the red) and the .180 hitters are tearing them up. What's a manager supposed to do? My entire staff is exhausted (despite just going through the All Star break). No innings anywhere. See screenshot.
Any help or advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated!

I wouldn’t expect this pitching staff to be that good, honestly. You don’t have any huge holes but you also have a lot of guys who are like 4th starter or middle of the ‘pen quality. On top of that, your rotation is dominated by finesse pitchers and you middle infield is a 2B playing out of position at shortstop and one of the worst defensive infielders of the 1970s.
If you really want to go with Orta and Brohamer up the middle, you either want to go high Stuff, accept that you’re going to give up a lot of hits, or a combination of both.
