Pitcher Stamina

mcilkaer8k · 07-07-2022, 01:06 PM

I've been switching out pitchers in both my rotation and my bullpen when I see that they are exhausted. Depending on where my starters are in relation to when they pitch next, I leave them in if they have a chance to get some rest. I don't switch out starters that just pitched a game or 2 ago. Should I be cycling in and out my pitchers, or should I just leave my pitchers in and let the game give them rest?

If you run 5 starters and 8 relievers you should never have stamina issues for your pitchers. No need to switch them out.

I have 5 and 7. I needed an extra bat on my bench to help with platooning and backups

7 should be fine. I've run 7 without any problems. I just run 8 now because I don't need the final spot for another bat, so I used it for a specialist reliever.

I tried out a four man rotation with nine in the pen on my Ace of Bronze team. The idea was to set a 75 pitch limit on the starters to take advantage of the relievers which have been performing better. Even with the low pitch limit, my starters still ended the games at 4% or lower and only recovered to about 70% for their next start. Basically a four man rotation is a non-starter in tournaments based on “modern” settings.
