An Option for Catcher Usage

This could apply to the main game but since Go is my game of choice at the moment. In the depth charts there’s options to use catchers every 2nd, 3rd, 7th game, etc. What about something like “day game after a night game?” It’s reflective of the way a lot of managers use their backup catchers.

(Also need an option where Steve Carlton ONLY pitches to Tim McCarver

)

Greg Maddux had a similar relationship with Javy Lopez. I *think* the base game has that in it? Also, IME If you set your backup catcher to play when the starter is tired, they'll pretty much always play in the 2nd game of a double header and I *think* also in the aforementioned day game after a night game because a. I believe (but I'm not 100% positive) that there's a little more fatigue accrued when that happens and b. the day game after a night game is almost always a "get away" game that occurs after a run of several consecutive ones.

All that said, it'd be fun to be able to set a guy to play "every Sunday" instead of just "every 6th game".
