Please don’t say that. I at least use it to give my relievers more time to get ready, when the guy on the mound has suddenly imploded. The AI gives broad hints a SP is done, such as giving up rockets on the first pitch. In my head I imagine what I would say to the pitcher who is obviously out of gas. I’m infuriated when I get the generic “plenty of gas left in the tank” when they are pooping the bed big time. I wish just once we could have a productive conversation. Occasionally, I admit, the SP says he is out of gas and running on fumes. I appreciate honesty.
