		OVERVIEW OF MANAGERIAL STRATEGIES/STYLE
The enclosed manager - Billy Barnes - is programmed to handle most 19th century replays and rosters. As such, he is extremely conservative with player usage, seldom substitution for players except due to injuries, player ejection or in the case of pitchers,  extremely poor outings. This latter strategy is based largely but not exclusively on the type of bullpen/staff Barnes is managing. If that team, for example, had very few actual relief appearances (roughly 10 or less), Barnes will usually allow the starter to pitch a complete game even if hit extremely hard (15+ to 20+ or even 30+ runs).

Teams that had higher relief appearances will usually lead to a "quicker" (relatively speaking) hook. In addition, Barnes will consider the pitcher's starting durability rating, inning and score.

You'll notice that many of Barnes' pitching move entails moving the pitcher to rightfield and the rightfielder - if he can pitch - to the mound. In most instances, this was the usual approach to relieving a pitcher.

Because many of the statistics for this era are incomplete, Barnes is programmed to internally "create" these missing numbers. This includes caught steals (as well as actual steal attempts if the player has a steal rating and zero actual steals) as well as sacrifice hits.
