70s closer - no 7th or later
Say i want bruce sutter to close the game and finish the final 3 innings.
How do I set his primary role. Usage option for closer longest is 8th or later Also - if you have a secondary closer when do they get used as closer. I assume it has to do with primary closer fatigue level If primary closr a 71% fatigue, how does that change his performane? I want my secondary to come in any time the fatigue level alters their performance |

closers werent a thing until the 80's and even then probably more like a stopper until eckersly really shifted things. still a transition period even in 80's. heck, you could still find 4-man rotations in the early-to-mid 80's.

I remember Fred Beene. When I was 12-13 and watched the 1972-3 Yankees, he had this amazing curve ball. Seemed unhittable. Having him in the same bullpen with Sparky was a great thing. Got traded to Cleveland and I remember being sorry, though we got Chris Chambliss in that trade. |

Stopper and closer aren't inconsistent roles. If a team has both, the stopper will come in if the game is close in the late innings, then give way to the closer. If the game isn't close, a setup man will precede the closer, and the stopper will enter only if the setup man or the closer runs into trouble.

What I do is set one of my setup guys to stopper secondarily.

That's not exactly true. There were five pitchers in MLB in 1975 with 20 or more saves and Rollie Fingers led the way for games finished with 59 with eleven other pitchers having 40 or more. Whatever you want to call it, there was certainly a recognized role for something similar to a closer even in 1975.

Essentially i am manually go in an swapping closer 1 and closer 2 when 1 is 30% tired because the AI doesn't seem to do it Or if one goes cold (jim palmer and juan marichal) I have tried stopper in secondar...hasn't really done anything |

Fred was always this mysterious figure to me with what i thought was a cool card...falling into the whatever happened too category.... I am hellbent on replaying the 70s and give a little extra attention to fred and develop him into at least a 10 year vet : ) BTW there are some really interesting 70s card sites on twitter and bottomcards, SARB and FlagstaffFilms have HOME footage in good quality of players i never got to see play....i think the OOTP developers need to watch them for research!!! : ) youtube as old radio broadcast that i find fascinating Links from here: https://twitter.com/BottommsCards Ryans first appearance https://youtu.be/JFbRgafVFv4 PT have intrduced me to tons of old players i now find as fascinating as fred beene : ) Last edited by fredbeene; 04-06-2019 at 10:22 PM. |

I messed with this before.My experience with this is If you use the Stopper and Closer on the same staff your Closer will see very little action. IIRC the Closer will Pitch 25-30 ip your stopper would have gotten and be used mainly when your Stopper is tired and that's IF you have no Stopper listed as a secondary role. Rarely did I ever see them Pitch in the same game

Since these 2 Roles were never actually used together Historically, It is probably impossible to give "greater insight" into how the game will act when a team chooses to do that.

My preferred way to set it up is Best reliever Stopper- 7th inning or more +close or lead. Secondary role:High leverage. Second best reliever: Primary setup 6th or later + secondary stopper. This seems to maximize the amount that the best two relief pitchers pitch although the second guy will get most of the saves (if you care).
