However, on his very first pitch, the runner on 1st is thrown out trying to steal 2nd. Fast forward to top of the 9th. I'm leading 6-5. Clear save situation where my Closer (who has been ligths our so far this year) should be coming in. However, the AI leaves my Set-up RP in the game instead of bringing in my Closer. Set-up RP throws 2 pitches to one batter and gives up a double. Closer NOW comes in and proceeds to give up a big inning after being in a bad situation with an inherited runner. Had he started the 9th inning there is a good chance he gets the save. The only thing that makes sense here is that the AI kept my Set-up RP in the game until he faced one batter. However, in MLB the Closer starts the 9th in that situation every time. Everything I read in the Game Manual says my Closer should have started the 9th. Am I missing something? Did my team get punished by the AI because my catcher threw out a baserunner? Updated Thursday, June 27 2019 @ 9:01:59 pm PDT

The rest of his setting are the same as the rest of my bullpen. It has worked perfectly so far this year. He's only ever entered in a save situation.
