I play out all my games and enjoy having the managing experience be as real as possible so I leave the warming up of relievers function on.
My question is does bringing in a reliever that isn't warmed up completely affect their performance? If so, what happens when there is an injury to your current pitcher and you don't have anyone loosening in the pen? Does the game replicate real life where a reliever is given as much time as needed to get ready after an injury so he essentially enters the game warm?
Just curious as I had to bring my closer in cold after an injury to my pitcher and he uncharacteristically gave up 3 runs. I just need something to pin this loss on really
