AI manager not removing Starter

[jack1535]

I have played 5 games so far and every game the Starter has gone 9 innings and even 11 one time. My most recent game the starter had 20 energy and was batting in a 0-0 game in the top of the ninth and they didn't pinch hit. Then they kept him in and I scored the winning run in the bottom of the 9th.

Is the starter kept in based on pitch count? Because their energy is below 30, but the haven't reached their max pitch count yet. I have the pitcher fatigue set at 55, should I raise it?

I am pretty sure it is somewhat on their pitch count. But I have heard that someone played a game where the CPU starter had like 0 energy left.

Try taking pitches more. Like, don't swing at the first pitch. Try to determine if it is a ball or no. And I am pretty sure if you raise pitcher fatigue, it makes it harder for them to get fatigued(correct me if I am wrong).

Thats a big problem for me taking pitches, and I'm trying to figure out if I should raise it or lower it.

Raising it makes pitchers fatigue faster. Lowering it makes them fatigue slower.
But i don't think it is that.
Look at the amount of pitches they throw when they hit 30 energy. Because if at 30 energy and they aren't even at their cap yet, you should lower fatigue and, yes, take more pitches. If they aren't hitting their cap, you are swinging too much

Actually the fatigue slider has nothing to do with how quickly a pitcher gets tired, the pitch cap will always stay the same. It effects how much fatigue effects the quality if pitches when they are tired.
