I prefer to:

1. Only play out games from the 7th inning onward. That allows you to make the majority of important decisions without having to go through everything.

2. Let the computer make non substitution strategy decisions. This may 100% not be your thing but stealing and so on has this weird thing where even though the game generates results via one pitch mode (that is, holistically, on a per PA basis) but those strategies do happen on a pitch to pitch basis, and the game doesn’t really take into account the giant malus to hitting you get IRL on two strike counts and definitely doesn’t have the AI react to what you’re doing if you’re cheesing the game by, for example, taking every other pitch. Ideally there are counts you generally don’t steal on and hit and runs classically come usually on 1-0 or 2-1 counts but the game doesn’t really do that. So… I just allow the AI to take care of that and I just watch in one pitch mode.
