Pitch count way too high for me with quick count

[TexasRyan]

I like to use quick count bc it gets me through more games obviously. But I'm getting 20-25 pitches per inning on hall of fame. I mean I get 12+ pitch at bats sometimes, it's frustrating. Is there any way to avoid this? And most of the time getting a pitcher through 6 innings almost feels like a complete game bc it rarely happens.

But at the same time I'm worried I'm going to lose the competitiveness if I go below hall of fame bc I'm still winning games and etc. (not all of them obviously, but I like the challenge where I can win but it's not a given.)

Two years ago pitch count worked fine. Last year it got screwed up. You could see 100 pitches in 5 innings. I couldn’t find a solution for it and just stopped using it it was so out of line. I believe I pitched on HOF.

Not really that far off for most pitchers, save for aces. They showed it during a Mets broadcast. For 2023 for all starting pitchers in MLB combined averaged 5.1 innings per start.

I understand the innings pitched, but when I used pitch count it was normal for it to be at almost 100 pitches. Isn’t the avg. pitches per inning about 15? that would put it normally in the 76 pitches range.

I even tried it out again a week or so ago. My SP finished 5 full innings with, I believe, was 101 pitches.

Yeah if I'm pitching a really good game I could enter the 6th with about 90 something pitches and get through the inning. But most games I'm lucky to get through 5 even on a good night.

Re: Pitch count way too high for me with quick count

If using quick counts you need to raise SP stamina up to 6 and sadly just ignore pitch count lol. They used to subtract one pitch each at bat until last year. I had a no hitter through 7 innings with Ohtani on quick counts. Was a littler over 100 pitches, but low energy. Quick counts makes pitching a little more challenging imo.

Re: Pitch count way too high for me with quick count

I turn stamina up to 9 for starters on quick counts. The pitch counts are wonky but if you’re throwing a gem, you can get to the 8th or 9th before your starter gets tired. Then it’s risk reward of you try for the CG.

Usually I can get 6 or maybe 7 innings if the starter is doing well, but I’m still having to pull starters in the 4th or 5th if they’re struggling as they’ll get tired then too.

I actually hadn’t played 24 yet but this morning I bought it. I’ve played one game. The biggest issue I saw after one game with being to not get to sixth or seventh with SP is the number of fouls. To me the number of fouls was insane.

I turned starter stamina up 2 notches and reliever up 1 notch we'll see how that effects everything.

Re: Pitch count way too high for me with quick count

Would like them to add in all counts... Start off 0-0, 0-1 as well.

Sometimes going into an at bat ya wanna ambush, but youre already behind the 8 ball.

Re: Pitch count way too high for me with quick count

I rarely pitch an inning with less than 20 pitches. In real life, a starter can get through an inning sometimes only throwing 10-15 pitches. And of course you don’t get the one pitch out with quick counts, unless you play with it off. I changed foul ball slider to 4 and fouls are a little better, but not much.

Re: Pitch count way too high for me with quick count

Update I got through 6 with Ohtani. Came out in the 7th gave up a couple of hits with 120 pitches and I pulled him. Seemed a bit better though.

Would ya'll recommend changing the slider for the CPU pitchers as well or?

Unfortunately, it's either this, or an insane amount of strikeouts like last year.

I always put cpu SP stamina one higher than mine. Reason is cause they can't manage their stamina like I can.
