Checked management settings and they all seem normal (normal hooks - max pitch counts set to 90) What am I missing?

So when your guys got shelled there was no long reliever to turn to. When guys are assigned as setup, lh setup, rh setup, and closer they won't come in until later in the game and usually when it's a close game.
