OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Why should you ever pull a starter before he's tired?

OOTP pulls struggling pitchers because that's what would happen real life. If it didn't happen people would complain OOTP wasn't realistic. Concerning whether there's a mechanism in the game that makes this a good move I don't know.

However if there is a "have a bad outing" mechanism then this is contrary to OOTP's devotion to randomness. So if they're really doing the "have a bad outing" routine then randomness is an exception not a principle. And there's no defense against not having caps and floors on player's annual performance so we don't have a guy hitting .320 one year and .179 the next.
