My only gripe. Too many plays made by the catcher. What's yours?

A longtime show fan and a longtime OS user. I Love this game. But I do have one minor gripe. There seems to be an over abundance in plays made by catchers. Between so many batted balls tapped out in front of the plate, and all the dropped 3rd strikes it seems that the catchers are throwing to 1st way too much.

I have a few but they are issues we have had like ever year.


1. The way the CPU uses there Bullpen they leave pitchers in to long and don't really uses left pitches vs left pitches.
2. To many double plays even when I am hitting well I hit into way to many double plays. Example last 5 games I have hit into like 11 double plays.
3. Pitchers getting hit by balls going up the middle. It is better this year as it doesn't happened ever game more like a ever other game type of thing where in the past it was like 3 times a game but even ever other game is much more often then real life.

I wouldn't charecterize it as a 'gripe' & it's certainly not my only, what I'd term a 'druther', but it's my biggest.
I'd druther have custom leagues over anything else.
I can't stand playing in 1982 & knowing I can't have a Cardinal-Brewer World Series.ng
I can;t stand playing in 1978 and playing against the likes of Tampa, Arizona, Colorado, & Miami, knowing those teams are still 15-20 years from realization.
I can't stand playing in 1955 & almost half the teams are fakes,
But still, the Show, in it's current format, is worth 3-4 times the retail price I paid for it. To me anyways.

The "Hop out of the crouch and zap to the ball like a magnet before the batter even leaves the box" has been a pretty annoying thing with this game for years now. And I don't see it changing any time soon.

Maybe Catcher Range/Reaction should be capped at 25 or 30.

Pretty much only one right now.

RP showing up in the rotations.

Drives me nuts....and is pretty much the only reason I still use 30 team control.
