Relievers tired immediately upon entering?

What I do is warm up a reliever and then put him on ready and waiting. If you let him warm up for a long time he will fatigue.

Here's the perfect way to warm up a reliever. Just have him stretch and toss. This will only fill the meter to 50% max. Once he is half way there change it to warm up and have a mound visit after that. This will fill the relievers meter to 75% and that's the time to bring him in the game but... The most important thing is that you have warm-up pitches turned on. Throw all 8 warm-up pitches and on the last warm-up pitch the meter will fill to exactly 100% ready. This only works with the warm-up pitches and you have to throw all 8.

Speaking of that meter - what's the difference between how much it is filled after it says "Ready"?

I presume there's some difference, but if I brought in a guy as soon as it says "Ready" instead of filling up the bar - does it lower his effectiveness? Raise injury risk? Influence confidence upon entering the game?

One of us doesn't understand what the other is saying. Might very well be me.

I mean the fatigue meter is partially drained already, not the pitching readiness. As in, throw 10-15 in game and "Pitcher X is tiring".
