[ALB123]

I've been getting very frustrated with relief pitcher stamina this in-game season, 1993. I auto-import modifiers and whatnot each season and for 1993, in League Settings > Stats & AI I noticed that for DH leagues the default setting is 6 relief pitchers...meaning AL teams have 11 team pitchers on the Active Roster. Pitcher Stamina, lower down on the same screen, defaults to Low for 1993.

I'm only 13 games into the season and things are not right, in my opinion. Each turn through the 5 man rotation, I practically need to throw 2 complete games otherwise my Bullpen will be totally shot. I use Mariano Rivera in a setup role. His Stamina is 35 (20-80 by 5 scale). If he throws 25-30 pitches, he will not be back to 100% full energy until 5 days later, like my Starting Pitchers. I refuse to use an RP unless their energy is at least 80% and usually won't use him unless he's 85%.or higher. Using Rivera as my example again, if I were to bring him in for 25-30 pitches and then use him two or three days later for even something like 5-7 pitches, he will now be at 0% and I'll be lucky if I have him back to 80-85% in five days.

I was afraid I accidentally changed something while perusing League Settings > Stats & AI. Like, maybe the default setting was to have seven relief pitchers for AL teams and somehow I accidentally change it to 6. Or maybe Pitcher Stamina was supposed to be on Normal and I inadvertently changed it to Low. So, I created a brand new testing Historic league beginning in 1993. I compared screenshots and was able to confirm I did not accidentally change a single setting in my normal, regular league.

I want to keep things as realistic as possible, so if the imported 1993 settings say only 6 relievers should be the default and Pitcher Stamina needs to be set to Low, that's what I want to use, but if my starting pitcher gets torched and lasts only 2-3 innings. My bullpen is going to explode. Normally, my SPs who recently pitched will be recovering at a regular pace. The day before they're finally back to 100% (the day they're due to pitch), they'll often be at 79%-85% meaning that the final day of rest gives them a 15% to 21% improvement in one day. Last week, I was keeping an eye on three RPs in particular. Again, Mariano Rivera was one of them. He was at 93% rest after pitching a few days ago and after one more full day of rest, he only improved to 98%. I've seen other small improvements with my other RPs that don't make sense, to me, at all.

Anyone?
