Vacant Starting Pitcher in Rotation
I'm running my league as a "manager only" for the first time out. Several days ago my GM demoted my 4th starting pitcher to the minors and gave me a reliever for my bullpen. His (SP) turn is now vacant and it's the next game. Should I wait for my GM to call up a SP for tomorrow? Is there anything I can do to get a pitcher from the minors? Thanks for any help in advance.

you can always turn on commissioner mode and do what you want with promoting/demoting a player.
the ai shouldn't do this, though. is another SP ~100% recovered due to a day off during that rotation cycle? if so, that's probably what it expects you to use. if they are all tired, i'd post something about how this happened in bugs forum. the ai or human shouldn't be left with a tired rotation. make sure there isn't a rested option with at least 3 workable pitches and above a certain threshold of stamina before posting anything, though. that's a "sp" even if you as manager don't have them labeled that way and the ai GM is essentially telling you to use that player as a starter. i'm frustrated by things like that, while others want that realistism of not having 100% control over things. depending on how you feel on that, you may want to look into GM Legacy Mode under Game/Global Settings. checkbox near bottom on same settings page that controls scouting accuracy. |

Can any of your relievers start? Are they better SPs than the SPs in the minors?

How would I do that No One, go to Commissioners mode? And can I then go back to the way it is now? Could you walk me through it? I had to start a starting pitcher today that was 78% rested. That's crazy! If you could walk me through it I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again in advance.

like tgh and i said, make sure there isn't another option in bullpen. 3pitches, suitable stamina etc. the ai gm is forcing you to use that guy.
comissioner mode on - go to manager office -- one of those tabs. settings / control options etc. don't recall offhand exactly. same as 'cannot be fired' i believe. pretty sure if you turn it off or even sim ahead a day, it may revert changes - some things may only revert due to some external cause like an injury or a point where ai runs through mil setup like after draft / maybe scouting report. not sure if 'gm-legacy mode' will work as a coach? could try that. global/game settings page - checkbox at very bottom -- same page you set scouting accuracy etc. by its name i doubt it works for coaches, but odder things exist.

I also play in manager mode.
Here's what I do:
This way, you only get commissioner powers when you want them, and you don't risk mistakenly proceeding as the commissioner. Meanwhile, I just deal with the hand I'm given. If that means I start a RP, I start a RP. The problem with making moves as the commissioner is that often, once you relinquish control, they just reverse the move. |

i think the ai short-handing you is grounds for taking a liberty, imo. you shouldn't feel bad about it. if this is a recurring problem, it could be detrimental to any serious playoff run.
