As bloated as the current game is with code and AI, I’m not surprised that happed to you OP.

I mean, moving a runner over via bunt is incredibly silly and we see RL teams do it all the time. Wasting your best reliever as a 'Closer'(tm) is incredibly silly and we see RL teams do it all the time. Hitting your best hitter 3rd is incredibly silly when we've known *for 15 years now* that none of your four best hitters should be in the 3-hole, but we see RL teams do it all the time. Frankly, *letting a pitcher bat in a game* is probably a mistake (and having more than 1 pitcher PA in a game is almost certainly a punt) unless you have a HoF pitcher on the mound.
Let's not pretend that RL managers always make correct decisions.
