Player Fatigue Question/Bug?

[jeter6970]

Just played a game using the latest patch (although league was started before 1.0.2 was out) and noticed my SS was at 88% rested. We were playing a below average pitcher so I decided to give him the day off.
Fast forward to the bottom of the ninth down 3 runs with runners on 1st and 2nd. I thought that this would be a good time to PH my regular SS to see if he could keep the inning going. He promptly popped out to 2B on the first pitch he saw.
Leave the game -- hit continue -- and then recheck the rest status of my team expecting this guy to be at 100%. When I get to him, though, he listed as 83% rested.
Could a one pitch AB really result in him being more tired? Really?

Could this be a bug maybe, or something else.

I tried to do a search on this, but found nothing directly related to this, so if this has been asked before and I didn't find it sorry.

That's just the way the game handles it. That's why there's a button on the individual strategy page for never pinch hit with him if tired, because it doesn't register his rest.
It's not right, it should take into account the fact that the guy didn't do anything but walk to the plate and give him his days rest... it also should count something if you put him in as a DH instead of the position, not as much as having the day off but still something beneficial... but it doesn't.
Think this'll have to go up as a hope it gets better in the next version thing...

I've kinda wondered about this one myself, so I logged it as TT # 2511. We'll let "the man" take a look at it and see what he says!
