Pitchers "Rest Status" while playing the game...

BigLou · 07-26-2006, 04:14 PM

I have all the updated patches...

While I was playing I wanted to check out the % of rest my pitcher had in the 5th inning. I can only find this information out when my team is on the bench. When my pitcher is pitching I do not have access to this information.

It's normally placed under his pitched per day, when I'm on the bench and my team is batting. However, when we are in the field and he is pitching, it is no longer there.

ex: 9% - totally exhausted or 100% Fully Rested.

I can only see these numbers when my team in batting.

Is this deisgned this way or is this some sort of glitch?

Any help on correcting this would be great,
Lou

Just an opinion, but it seems like it would be designed that way. The purpose would be to get you to walk to the mound to ask the pitcher how tired he feels (as if he would give you an honest answer!). In Stratomatic the ONLY time pitcher fatigue is visible is during trips to the mound, which I find very realistic.

Though one facet that OOTP falls short is that in real life you can many times tell how a pitcher is feeling by watching his body language and the results of his pitches (and by asking the catcher in between innings). So I think relying on the fatigue bar is fine in lieu of these things is ok.

Honestly, I don't know - when should you definitely be taking your pitcher out? At what point does he really start to lose it? Is it when he goes below 5%? 10%? 15%?

Another thing I wanted to bring up - though this doesn't directly have to deal with fatigue, it does deal with information about how your pitcher is doing - though in PBP you occasionally will hear about someone missing location, it is impossible to tell in OOTP whether a good pitcher is getting roughed up despite throwing well because of bad luck (in which case, leave him in) or because he's missing location or his pitches don't have life (in which case, take him out).

I've generally found that balls begin to miss fielders right around pitch 100 for starters, and 20 for relievers.

This assessment is by no means scientific, but it just seems that way to me most of the time.

I'm not certain either, whether it was a design decision or not. So, I've logged it as TT # 2506, and we'll let Markus tell us!

(Just, don't be surprised if it was a design decision!)

Thanks!
