5 SP / 8 RP is now the norm

[dowie]

Hey Everyone - question for Y'all.....

Whether right or wrong, real MLB continues to evolve and protecting arms seems to be a hot topic right now. With nearly every team going with a short bench to add an 8th bullpen arm it leads me to this question.......

Where should I set SP stam and hook (played games, not sim) so starters are "lucky" to get through 5 innings, and some combo of 8 relievers have to go the finally the 4?

This is for MLBTS 17 obviously.

Thanks,
Dowie

This might be better in the sliders forum.

But there's not going to be one-right-answer. If you're hitting and pitching for yourself, it's going to depend on how you play as much as anything else.

I would say probably low for both (i.e. under 5), but that's just a broad guess.

Everyones (in the slider forum) range for the SP from 5 to 7. Ive ran with both 6 and 7 and have had good results. Relievers stamina between 4 and 5. So I most go with a 7/5, but 6/4 works just as good. As for hook, 5. Ive always used 5 and never had a issue.

Last years game the manager hook was shocking and Broken I pitchers being hooked after4 innings in a 3-2 game when pitchcount was only in70s if the score was 9-2 the cup wouldn’t then hookthd starter at all, they need better logic to fix this in 18. The score should Not be relevant to. Hook unless he’s give up 5 earned in 3 innings or something or thrush over 100 pitches I’m 4
