    Frustration Pitcher Stamina

    Ok this is the capper. I am losing 2-0 going into the fifth inning. I only have 3 hits in the entire game.

    I lead of the 5th with a double and out comes the starting pitcher!!! Not even a chance for the win??!!

    In what real life game would a pitcher pitch 4 plus innings with 4 hits, no runs and get yanked if it wasnt injury related???

    This really bugs me.

    hmmm, interestin that he didnt get a chance to win.

    Last night I played a game where Ted Lilly (Oak) only pitched 2.2 innings and STILL got the win. I was in shock!

    Not only that, but with the bases loaded and 2 outs I fielded a grounder to 3rd base and the umpire called the play dead as soon as I fielded the ball. I check the replay and the ball CLEARLY bounced on the ground before I fielded it. The umpire just called the runner out for NO reason. There wasn't a runner near me and there didnt seem to be like an extra added feature or somethin in the game (ball hitting a runner, etc.) Huge bug? Yes. But the only time I have seen it.

        I have yet to see any major stamina issues. Vazquez, for example, pitched 8 shutout innings in one game, while Hampton came out one time after 3 innings after giving up seven runs. I also don't see any problem with human pitching stamina either. The only part of the game that annoys me is fielding.

            I believe this issue is resolved when you move up to allstar, in pro the pitchers will get yanked earlier, but from what I have heard when you bump up the pitchers go deeper into the game. Not sure though since I have not bumped up my franchise yet, I am still enjoying my 14 game win streak in my dbacks franchise set on pro. 25-6 so far, might be time for me to bump it up. Although Randy, Oswalt, Halladay, Prior, Beckett rotation is pretty filthy, and that may be the reason for my success.

                        lol, look at all you giving me [censored], never asked about my offense, pretty damn weak, I average about 3 runs a game. I have really built around pitching, and Beckett really isnt anything special yet this year, his bar is only half full. I am going to bump it up soon here since I am a pretty good player as it is, do you guys hit into alot of dp's?
