I have noticed that it takes roughly 3 batters to go from cold to warming up to ready. Once in a while it will take 4 or 5 batters. I second the notion of a dialog between MGR and pitcher as well as catcher.
I have noticed that when a pitcher like Verlander who has stamina of 19 gets tired in the 5th inning. He is the kind of pitcher that gets stronger as the game goes.
Has anybody noticed the pitchers commonly (not all the time) begins to have trouble once he gets into the pitch count of 60 ??? I always begin warming my relievers at the 60 pitch count. Doesnt matter if stamina of a pitcher is 20 its the same with all the pitchers at least for me. If anybody knows another trick let me know.
