Resting players & energy

[Gagnon39]

I've always been curious as to how the player fatigue level is calculated. I know it's heavily dependent on the durabiblty rating (at least as far as I know). But I'm more curious as to the following:

Does it help, in regards to conserving a player's energy, to take them out of a game? For example, if I'm up big in a game and want to put someone in for Rizzo at first in then fifth or sixth inning, does Rizzo save any energy by me doing this?

Well to me that's hard to now. In past version's of the Show we view the energy levels for the player's while choosing a batting lineup. Now I just wait for the message prompt I need to rest a player. With that being said, for example Freddie Freeman durability rating is in the 90's and I get message I need sit him every 4th day.

how is he doing batting wise? could also be a slight factor, i know that with pitchers they lose energy quicker if they are not performing well.

one example is one ive seen recently, i had a pitcher going into the 4th inning and he had about 1/2 energy left but he was getting hit the score was only 2-0 but he gave up like 8 hits by the 4th inning and so i got the message that he was getting tired, well he managed to get out of the 4th inning then i brought him back for the 5th and he managed to punch out a few more solid innings before i turned to my bullpen.

Re: Resting players & energy

players get a set amount deducted from their energy each game they play. The amount deducted is dependent on a lot of factors, including how long they play, what position they play and events that happen during the game.

At the end of every day, every player gains energy based on their durability. So by the next day, their change in energy will be (durability added - energy lost from playing). This number could end up being positive or negative.

So in short, yes, it is possible to save energy and possibly even gain it by replacing a player in the late innings. I do it all the time and it works like a charm. Good strat to use during a blowout.

Thanks for the info. But I have to ask, how do you know this?

Re: Resting players & energy

How come this does not reflect on the relief pitches? For example I can use my closer as many game in a row I want and he never shows signs of fatigue. Same goes for when pitchers are warming up in the BP they can throw for 3 innings straight and show no fatigue. Am I missing something here?

Maybe I'm missing something because I certain can't do that with my relievers.

I use Chapman two games in a row and his "energy circle" looks more like a semi-circle. If I do bring him in, he's literally tired before the first pitch he throws (Chapman is tired will pop up while getting the sign). Literally.

As far as the bullpen, I've read it does cost energy after a while, especially if you don't switch them to "Ready and Waiting" or use "Stretch and Toss" to begin with.

I don't know, I've never left a guy warming for 3 innings. I'll switch him to "Ready and Waiting".

Re: Resting players & energy

Mine acts the same way as KB. I can barely ever use my closer more then 3 days in a row. It's a real stretch if I try to push that 3rd game. As for my relievers, I would never have them throwing for three innings. I would either sit them back down or I have them ready and waiting for at most an inning.

I've done testing to confirm my theories.

Also I should mention that I still don't know how relief pitching works. This only applies to position players.
