later during the year, when one of my starter went down, I thought why not. the guy turned into a 5+ WAR pitcher, 3 time all-star, even winning the pitcher of the year award once...
It's not that. This pitcher is a 2 pitch reliever who's ratings are 100/59/62 with a stamina of 94.

The issue is it skipped a perfectly healthy Noah Syndergaard with 100/76/98 ratings, 58 stamina, 4 plus plus pitches, who wasn't tired, and was on turn to start Game 5 of the LDS. And if for whatever reason you want to construct in your head to say he wasn't available - I had Zack Wheeler sitting in the bullpen (not part of my 3 man playoff rotation) with 84/77/76 ratings, 57 stamina, and 4 plus pitches. Like... it doesn't make ANY sort of sense. At all. I lost a playoff series because of this.

This is why I used to play out every playoff game.
