<strong>It is VERY rare for a major league pitcher to return after a delay. After Lieber returned a couple of weeks ago, he had to miss a turn due to a sore elbow. In OOTP, just because the pitcher is tired doesn't mean he can't continue to pitch. I have an 8 yr old son who likes to do crazy things with OOTP. He has had Pedro Martinez start over 100 games per season and amass over 1000 strikeouts in a season. Obviously, he is tired most of the time, but I have seen him pitch 15 innings (all while tired) and strike out 20 or more.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">How does he do it???
I've never had pedro start more than 23 games in a season. Still, he avgd 19-2 over his career.
Maybe I've been spoiled by the Braves, but I don't think it's unusual to see 20+ pitches after a rain delay. Braves pitchers throw [I]during /I] the delay, instead of warming back up afterwards. I recall seeing John Smoltz allow 1 run over 9 innings after an hour and 45 min rain delay in the 4th or 5th inning.
