        does anyone know if they fixed the fact that some pitchers took forever to warm up (and some never did), and if they weren't fully warmed up, they had about 2 good pitches and then went to the crapper?

            The bullpen was good last year, people just didn't understand how to use them. If you used a relief pitcher too often, they don't get all the way warm because they get overused. Same if they go too long between games. If you used them right, about 2-3 times every 5 games they warm up every time. If you brought in a pitcher who wasn't all the way warm, they tired faster and you have to account for that by having someone else up.

                No...I would have a guy who hadn't pitched in a week and he still would never warm up.

                Maybe the stamina problem is more of a general one, because when relievers were completely warmed up, they could only throw breaking pitches to the first batter.

                    As I just said, if you had a pitcher who hasn't pitched in a while, he doesn't get all the way warm. Same as real life, if you give a reliever a week with no work he won't be as sharp as when he's being used normally. It's been my experience that anything longer than 4 games off is too much.

                        True, but when a guy has been in the bullpen for *5 FREAKING INNINGS* he's going to be fully warmed up. Not like the guy has been off for a year.

                            if the guy is in the bullpen warming up for five innings he's going to start tiring, one would think.
