ST won't require a pitch count.. i think it's @60 or so without setting anything... 4ip for a starter before tehy are taken out, regardless.

you probably won't get that much of an improvement of your era over a longer period of time, but if you were pitchign guys tired more often than you do now, you will see some improvement.

this assumes you adjust to context too.. sometimes a really bad bullpen causes you to run that SP out for one more inning etc. sometimes the opposite and everythign in between.

if you play games out, simply take note of the moment they turn "slightly tired".. if you don't go far beyond that, they typically recover near ~100% by their next turn in the rotation. a pitch count for the ai should be ~7-10 below that point to acheive the same ends (~100% by next start).

at the moment, i don't htink inactivity during the season is a problem... this assumes that 'rust' was knocked off during spring training. since these types of guys are lower inning totals even for an RP, it's nearly impossible to tell from 1 or 2 players in 1 season. during the season, you do not accrue rust on an active roster from what i know, but it does take playing time to knock rust off from offseason or injuries that take you off the active roster for longer periods of time.

i often will switch up a more often used older RP with an up and coming RP. when this occurs midseason and consider many players, it works out as you would expect based on ratings. (or if unseen, the ratings you cannot see)
