Yup. After the CPU pulls the starter I up the manager hook slider and see plenty of pitcher changes.

MRP (high leverage) MRP (high leverage) MRP (high leverage) MRP (high leverage) SU (primary setup man/high leverage: best OVR RP) SU (low leverage: worst OVR RP) CL (closer)

I tried this and the first reliever they put in was the 2nd setup spot (worst reliever) when they were up 2-0 in the 7th 😂

It works better for simmed games.

In games I play, I move the worst rated reliever from the #2 set up spot, to the #2 LRP spot. Then once the series vs that team is over, I move him back to #2 SU

This does result in that reliever sometimes being put into the game, but normally only in "mop up" situations, where that team is either way ahead, or way behind

Who goes in the 2nd setup spot?

No one. Leave it blank for games you play.

That way, if there is a "set up" scenario in the game, the right guy will be used by the CPU.
