Why do CPU teams have 12-13 pitchers?

This is totally unrealistic and absolutely absurd. I checked a number of CPU teams and they have 12-13 pitchers. Of course the CPU players can play with stamina ratings below 50% and it's okay because they have the "boss" behind them.

I know there are a number of quirks that just do not seem realistic, but this 12-13 pitchers on a team just turns my stomach :hammer:

Yeah 13 might be pushing it, but it does happen. 12 is pretty common. Thats what happens when most starters only go 6 innings

Yeah, my Cubbies have 11 on the roster now. Cardinals have 12. Just take a look at some of the depth charts at mlb.com

13 pitchers is realistic??? That leaves 12 other players including your regulars, which would be 9 in the AL, and that means just 3-4 players on the bench!

Really? Just 3-4 players on the bench? Must be a very narrow bench ;-)

Yeah and when you consider one basically has to be your backup catcher things look even slimmer.

There is nothing unrealistic about this what so ever, 90% of teams like to carry 12 pitchers and in the NL where batter/pitcher matchups are very important some teams like to carry 13

Ah, i usually don't like to have 13 pitchers on my team, what's the point, i'd be using maybe 3 relivers often, then what the heck will i be doing with the rest eh. I have all my teams in the ML set to 11 pitchers and 14 players, but the minors to 13 players, 12 pitchers..works for me.

In reality most major league teams carry 12 pitchers... in this game however I don't know why they would carry 13... they rarely ever change pitchers even when they are getting shelled... of course the slidder settings have alot to do with how the pc reacts ...

What is the point of being concerned about the stamina ratings? CPU players are playing with energy levels below 60% and doing quite well. After all, if you have 13 pitchers, how many guys are on the bench to give a regular some rest?

Well, perhaps the CPU players are on amphetamines or something :biglaff:

How do you make it so the CPU ML teams carry just 11 pitchers?
