Wondering, did you ever actually start the game? Sometimes the pregame screen can be misleading when using real lineups. I've noticed this mainly with starting pitchers. The pregame screen might show who OOTP would start, based on rest or rotation etc., but when the game starts the actual real life starter will start the game. Makes me wonder if Uke might have been the catcher once the game began as well.
As for the relief pitchers, OOTP only provides the real starting lineups and starting pitchers. The game does not provide real rosters. So, relief pitchers, backups etc. will not be set according to real life. Your games should start with the real lineups and real starting pitchers, but from that point on the rest is left to the OOTP AI.
