If the CPU isn't then I truly hope we have the option to turn it off.

I don't want another feature that is user only similar to the replay challenges.

Check out the blog I wrote on why rainouts and doubleheaders is important to gamers. Be sure to leave feedback in the blog comments.

The more I think about rain delays the more I'm hoping there is an option to turn them off. Yes I know that I could just change the weather so that it doesn't rain, but I do like to play in the rain. But if that's the only way to end rain delays then that is what I'll do. My reasoning is that I'm afraid this could potentially create a CPU roster management nightmare. For example, if a rain delay occurs say in the 2nd inning and the CPU decides to not put his starter back out there and either goes to the pen or worse, another starter, then there is potential issues there for games going forward. If the CPU goes to the bullpen then there is a chance that the CPU could burn through its bullpen, tiring out arms/players and then having to rely on these relievers the rest of the series. If the CPU goes with another starter, then that could potentially throw the rotation out of whack with rested arms in between starts. Unless they have added this year (and maybe its in '17 as I didn't play franchise in '17) that the CPU will call up a pitcher or two to help with a tired staff, then the potential issues I stated worry me to the point that I'd just rather turn rain delays off.

Not terribly worried about this because the AI's bullpen management is already quite wonky. They have no problems making a 1-inning guy go 3 innings and the stamina doesn't really seem to correlate with the pitcher's effectiveness anyhow. The AI decision of when to pull starters is just so so and with starters already getting yanked early at times, I doubt the occasional rain delay (maybe 5 per season? maybe just a couple of those being in the very early innings? just speculating, but rainy games seem to be far less common than sunny/overcast games in my experience) will destroy a computer team's pitching staff.

Even if it works to perfection, I still hope there's the option to choose.

I'm sure I'm not understanding (I'm old lol) but you can turn these off...
Again I might be misunderstanding
