Playoff Pitching Prep ?

BullDozier · 07-18-2020, 12:36 PM

I am in Stone and the club is cruising.
I am on a 100 win pace and have a pitching staff that is really good.
at the end of August , my top three starters are pushing 200 innings.
do i need to manage their innings in September to keep them fresh for a playoff run ? - or doesn't the amount of innings factor in the Sims.

Thanks for any input !

No need to manage innings, and if you're winning your division, you'll probably get everyone rested in time for your first division series game, but in the last week of the regular season, you may want to make sure your ace doesn't pitch the last game, just to be safe.

Once the playoffs start, switch to a 4 man rotation. The series are set up to make it viable. Throw your 5th guy into long relief as an emergency starter.
