Pitcher fatigue will be monitored by the game. The current setting for pitcher usage in the game is "Use SADV Fatigue Rules." A pitcher must be removed by the manager playing a game at the beginning of the inning after the inning he becomes fatigued; a tired pitcher may be brought into a game, but must be removed at the beginning of the inning following the one in which he enters the game.
Proposed change in bold and delete all language after:
Pitcher fatigue will be monitored by the game. The current setting for pitcher usage in the game is "Use SADV Fatigue & pitch count."
Comment: For those of us looking for a little more strategy, this is a no-brainer. Starters and relievers would have to be used more realistically. For instance, instead of having Billy Wagner (just an example, I don't even know who has him) pitch 3 innings one game and pitch 3 innings the next, a GM would actually have to think and worry about bullpen usage.
Please note that I have no problem with the current system, just thought we might try something different. If we don't like it, we can always go back the next year (assuming we're still using Strat).
