Force use of closer

triordan · 08-25-2020, 11:33 AM

I play in an online league and would like to force my manager to use my closer in the ninth for all tied games so I can get to the 10th and have a shot. Is there a setting that I can select to make this happen? I've noticed that the closer rarely, if ever, pitches in back to back games.

No.

Set them as a Stopper instead of a Closer.

It won't be as specific of a solution as you want, but I think it is a better use of the best reliever anyway and you will get him in these type of situations. He could also come in if behind by a run or 2 also though.
