Having issue with blown saves.

mrbadguy · 06-19-2017, 02:35 PM

I'm year 3 into my Expos franchise (started in 1980) and am having a huge issue with blown saves. I have had this issue before, in other Franchises, just not to this extent. I'm only talking about last inning saves ( not the ones blown in the 7th). My save percent in the last inning of a game is maybe 60%. Most of those blown saves involve an error. Even 3 run leads don't seem safe.
I really do not get it. Is there some "closer" or "pressure" rating I'm not seeing; maybe the guys I'm using are "true closers".
Just getting frustrating..

Also..Also getting a rather large amount of 8-12 run innings against me when I hit the finish inning/next inning but (fast forward thing inning). Completely destroys a pitchers ERA.

Some questions for you:

Are you simming the game or playing it out? What are your pitchers' ratings like and what is the quality of your scout to evaluate those ratings? I have had individual closers have meltdowns (just like in real life) where they blow save after save. I've also had bullpens have meltdowns (just like in real live) that appear to have been largely due to personality issues and such.

Also how many blown saves are we talking about? You say your save % is 60%, what is your sample size?
