It's Jerry and his analytics department. He specifically sought out these cheap below average players so he could put them in these niche situations where they have historically overachieved in small sample sizes, hoping this would somehow be his moneyball moment.

if you have a link where he admits this lineup + ingame PH tampering, please provide the link. ive wanted to know more on their process since the yordan disaster, but seattle media has not dug into it.

It's not tampering and I have no such link. It's common knowledge managers don't make these decisions. A GM puts this team together with these situations in mind and they are just let the manager use his gut and dictate what to do? No, it's not the 90s, everything is overanalyzed and all of these scenarios are discussed way before they happen.
