"Ready" bar in bullpen

[forme95]

Call me crazy, as I just noticed this.... The word Ready. I had a lefty and a righty warming up (both were full bar warmed up), my Righty (Webb) had the word "Ready" in red and my Lefty (Rypezcsnki) word "Ready" was in white. I also saw a "Ready" in yellow, just to add. Do they have specific meaning with a color change?

I would think white is good to go, yellow is he's almost warmed up too long, and red is warmed up too long.

And by too long, I mean too many pitches.

Well that is my obvious guess also. I've just noticed it does that and that was my itinial thought. Just was looking for some confirmation if that is what it ment.

I.e. He's now burning up energy and will come in at less that the max available stamina (i.e. he was at 85% when warmed and now he'll come in at 76% because I left him warming full speed too long)?

Speaking of which, can a guy be left on "ready and waiting" too long to where he starts getting cold? Also, what's the point of the "stretch and toss" option that gets him up but he'll never get warm?

Re: "Ready" bar in bullpen

I use stretch and toss if my pitchers pitch count is getting high but he's not in any trouble yet. That way if gives up a hit or two and gets in trouble I can switch the guy in the pen to warming up and he's ready to go in after maybe one more better. Instead of starting him from cold and maybe takes a few more baters to warm up
