Logic for Tired Starters

February 11, 2010 at 09:02PM View BBCode

If all 5 of your SP are tired, Abe will now check to see if there are any fully rested pitchers in the bullpen with endurance of C- or better. If he finds one, that pitcher will start. Otherwise, Abe will start the most rested pitcher on your team between your SP and the 2 LR spots.

Would a SP with 4 bars be considered tired or able to start? I'd think he would be your first choice if he's available.

Under the old system, he'd be the starter if your other starters or Long Reliever didn't have 5 bars.

Under the new system, he'll be the starter if none of your RPs has 5 SP bars, and C- or better Endurance.

I would also think a slightly tired SP would be preferable to a rested C- Rp if push came to shove. Both would pitch similar innings, wouldn't they?

I would think a guy with A endurance and 4 bars would be able to last longer than a guy C- with 5 bars. At least logically, that makes sense to me.

I don't know the coding on this, but I think I'd rather have a SP start the game in almost any case if he has 4 bars.

Currently, we don't want people to start pitchers on short rest unless it is an emergency situation. Also, if that SP with 4 bars starts, presumably he was supposed to start the next game, so you're facing the same problem the next game.

This change was based on the popularity of this idea:

That makes sense, but would ABE take into account an upcoming offday, for instance, that might mean only one guy would have to go on short rest and then the rotation would be set again?

That would be a ton of work to pull off.

Basically, if you have this happen you're best off managing it yourself. But in the event you don't, Abe will do a little better job now (In my opinion) of finding a replacement.
