Is there a clear explanation anywhere of which relief pitcher will be used in any given situation? On one team I have four very strong relievers and keep losing games when other relievers are used instead- I haven't figured out how to rectify this other than not pitch the worse relievers at all

Open your pitching screen and hit help.

So those explanations sound great... But then this happens:

I had a long relief a at 100%, and the long relief b is brought in in the sixth inning of a close game instead. These relief decisions seem to keep happening

Well, I can't explain exactly how the engine works but the moves usually makes sense.  Sometimes it's owner settings(available inning) and sometimes it's L/R match-up issues.   I've even felt, from time to time, it's usage.   A guy pitches 3 out of the last 4 games and isn't brought in despite being 100%.

Guerrero should not be a ML pitcher. His individual pitches are awful. The best spot for him, if you need to keep him on your ML roster, is to put him as RH Specialist. Also, his pull setting should be set at 5, with a 15-20 max pitch count.
