One question... if you start warming someone up....

a. does he get tired after a while
I have left a guy in there for 3 innings seems to have to effect, I look at it like you call down and have him get warm and he stays loose until you use him. so once loose he does nto just sit there throwing, but then throws a bit if he needs to before you call him in.

personally I owuld hate to take him in and out just to save him from over working

b. if he gets up, sits down, gets up... does this effect him?
if you take him out for a batter and put him back in he will be warm or ready, but it will take a bit to warm up again if he sat for too long. other than maybe needing to warm up, though, there is no problems

c. how much is put into being "ready" or "cold"?
I have not fully tested "cold" it seems if you have an injury the game helps you out and you pitch fine, I have put some in when things are going horribally wrong when they were "warming up" I have not noticed problems but I only put them in at "warming up" when anything is better than waht is going on out there

Over all I like the system, sure you can leave a guy to warm up all day but generally I at most warm them up in the inning before they come in when the current pitcher gets out of the inning, then I put him in at the start of the new inning

though I might see if I have a league I am not useing and put in a guy cold and see how he does
