Player Strategy - More Pitcher Limits

MBarrett · 08-31-2016, 11:11 AM

Right now we can only place a Pitch Count limit on our pitchers. This is becoming less relevant in the real world. It would be more useful to have an "Innings Limit" and a "Times Through the Order Limit".

An innings limit would be especially useful for relievers, since allot of Closers and specialists won't pitch more than an inning. I want to stop the AI from bringing my Closer in for a 2nd inning if the game is tied. Pitch Count limit won't work because it could result in him being pulled in the middle of a Save situation, which would never happen.

Also, most Managers are now yanking starters before they face a batter for the 4th time. Pitch count be damned. I'd like the option to force this on my Manager as well.
