Short relievers....many innings fixed?

[Rdrunner]

Anyone know if they fixed the problem with relievers with career avgs of less than 1 IP/Game coming in and pitching 3 innings or more?

Re: Short relievers....many innings fixed?

I don't know. But the problem is their stamina ratings are too high. 40-50 stamina means they'll easily pitch 4-5 innings. One solution is to lower stamina for relievers into the 5-20 range. But that doesn't always work as I've seen the CPU leave pitchers in for 2 or even 3 innings on 0 stamina provided they're still getting my hitters out.

COmpared to last year they set the stamina rating of the most relievers way down. That has helped a little bit.

Yes indeed and I think it's a great model myself. You can check their pitch count rating as it fluctuates according to how rested they are.

Right. If you go deep in a game like say 13-14 innings and you have to bring in 3-4 relievers, you can get a problem the next day.

Exactly.. especially when I lose a SP in the first inning..

Yeah, that sucks doesn't it.

Re: Short relievers....many innings fixed?

Yea, with the Phillies, I had Papelbon pitch one inning for a save. And the next day. He had like 66 energy. I figured, eh it is only one inning, right? Well he could only throw a max of 12 pitches.
Silly me.

edit: and not to mention if you leave someone in too long pitching, you run the risk of injury. I had Cliff Lee 2 pitches over the minimum it says he can throw and he tore a ligament in his shoulder.

My pitching staff is a mess, injuries everywhere!

Carpenter, Wainwright, Garcia, Lohse, Sanchez.. all out with injuries!

That problem is based on the crippled ratings by 2k.

Look at the durability ratings:

Carpenter: 67
Garcia: 58
Lohse: 72
(really don't know what Sanchez you mean. Did you trade for him? I don't know a pitcher called Sanchez who is with the Cards.

As you look at those ratings you shouldn't wonder anymore that those players have injuries quite often!

Last year the most players had a durability rating over 80.
Now the most players have something between 50-70.

This is WAY too low. When you get those players fatigued you nearly can bet on them being injured.

I posted in MKharsh's thread that the ratings 2k gave the players are mostly utterly garbage.

This is another proof of it...

Eduardo Sanchez #52, middle relief. I've had injuries with pitchers in the first inning, so I don't think it has to do with durability all the time.

Yes, it has.
Durability is the factor that comes in for calculating the likelihood of a player getting injured. The inning doesn't matter.

Ok, I see what you are saying now. Maybe 2k will fix that?

I know most have turned down injury rate, but for now, I'll keep it at default - although if I get too many more, it's going down a couple of notches.

You mean that 2k edits the durability ratings in their upcoming rosters? Can't imagine this...sadly.

I am about to edit a roster for pc and the more I look at the player ratings the more I recognize how flawed many ratings are.

Want an example? Lincecum having a 35 clutch rating and Gerrardo Parra 68.

Get the roster editor and do a global edit to increase the durability ratings for everyone in the league.
