Player Energy

Does a player's playing level decrease when his energy bar is down?

Nope. It just determines whether he can play or not. Actually, I think there are times when ABE might be forced to bring in a tired pitcher (if everyone is used up in extra innings, for example). In those cases I do think the pitcher's performance is hurt. But I think that's the only case.

That was an interesting question. Let me get it straight though, the three single-season seasons Ive played, Ive gone out of my way to rest players in the yellow to keep my lineup fresh, even if that meant occasionally putting a righty who only hits lefties in the lineup out of position to play against a righty because he is fresh. Was I basically wrong in doing this?

I'd have to say "yes". The only time I rest someone before they're totally depleted and I'm forced to is when I've got an important series coming up and I want to make sure they're available.

What about relief pitchers when the bar is yellow because they just pitched the previous day?

But would sitting him for two games prevent the cycle of declining health from kicking in right away? Or would it just be a waste?
I've also noticed that if I rest a guy when he gets down to 2 yellow bars, it doesn't seem to get him any extra days of playing time later. I might as well let him go down to red every time, right? If he's at 2 or 3 yellow bars and gets rested once, it doesn't "store" those potential healthy games up for later, does it? He just gets tired again right away.
Any thoughts? Am I seeing this correctly?

Rest does not appear to be cumulative, as far as I can tell. If a guy's bar goes to red and I sit him out for one game he's back to green, but he'll immediately start going down again if he's not a healthy player.

Rest isn't cumulative, and sitting him for 2 days would just be a waste... unless of course he sucks. :)

You are correct. The only time you want to bench a player that isn't "red" is if you have an important game coming up that you need him for.Rest isn't cumulative, and sitting him for 2 days would just be a waste... unless of course he sucks. :)
