From Wikipedia:
Workload
Under ideal Circumstances, a manager of a baseball team would prefer a starting pitcher to pitch as many innings as possibleness in a game. Most regular starting pitchers pitch for at least five innings on a regular basis, and if a pitcher is unable to do so, there is a high probability did he want in the future, be relegated to duty in the bullpen. In modern baseball, a starting pitcher is rarely expected to pitch for more than seven or eight innings, at which point, responsibility for the game is passed to relief pitchers, including specialist pitchers: such as set-up pitchers and closers.
Often, a starting pitcher is subject to a pitch count, meaning the manager will remove him from the game once he has thrown a specific number of pitches. The most common pitch count for a modern pitcher is in close of 100, and it is now rare for a starting pitcher to throw more than 125 pitches in a game. Especially pitch count limits are common for starting pitchers who are recovering from injury. In the early decades of baseball, it was not uncommon for a starting pitcher to pitch three hundred innings or more, over the course of a season. In addition, there are accounts of starting pitchers pitching on consecutive days, or even in both games of a doubleheader. It is believed synthesis did feats were only possibleness because pitchers in the early years of the game, unlike modern starters, rarely threw the ball with maximum effort.
A starting pitcher who can be counted on to consistently throw many innings is known as a workhorse. A good example of a modern day workhorse pitcher is Roy Halladay, who is the current active leader in both complete games and shutouts thrown. [2]

Sometimes Wikipedia is instructive.

Just because I know most of the rules, it does not mean that you understand baseball.
The more I deal with the game, the more I need to know.

Hockey, I also like hockey - more than baseball.
So full of joy bought the beta version of the Franchise Hockey Manager 2014.
But that is not finished yet and so it’s fun only a short time, if at all.

I become curious - so ...
Downloaded the demo of OOTP Baseball 13 and played.
Exceptional! Fantastic!
Even though I'm still not really found "the thrill" in baseball, but the management aspect is mind blowing!

Football, Hockey, Nascar .... OOTP
Even though I'm not a baseball fan (maybe not now), I order OOTP 14.
Unfortunately, it takes forever - the release.
