Tired players and pinch hitting
August 17, 2006 at 10:01PM View BBCode
Ok, I'm not sure why I bothered with this since the new injury system will make it obsolete, but I changed it so tired batters can appear as Pinch hitters.

Aww... I actually liked it better the other way. Now it would seem that an F health player can still appear in 162 games (about 40 as a pinch hitter), and that seems inapproriate. And I would think the abusers would just change their settings to pinch hit very early in the game, and thereby get nearly 162 FULL games out of their low health players. Did you make an adjustments to prevent this kind of abuse?

Let me look at the code real quick... If you have 3 or more plate appearances, it counts as a game for tiredness. Yeah, some asshole will probably try to snake around that. I'd have to change that number to 2 and maybe set something up where he gets injured for a game or 2 if he's pinch hitting in the 2nd inning.
Might not be worth the hassle - I'll think about backing out the code.

Unfortunately, it just seems prone to abuse. I took a look at the manager preferences, and it seems like I could...
Set my lineup to bring in a pinch hitter if my team is winning by 99 runs or less, or losing by 99 runs or less (i.e., always pinch hit), in the 1st inning or later, and don't consider the batters in the 2nd through 8th spots. Thus, I could have my star F health hitter play every game as a pinch hitter (tired or not) by simply putting a scrub in the #1 batting spot, and he'll get pinch hit for at the lead-off position of every game. Likewise in the #8 spot.
Personally, I agree that making some kind of change on this would be welcome, but if there's no code beyond making red health bars eligible for pinch hitting, it seems highly prone to abuse since it actually seems pretty easy to control with manager preferences.
