Don't teams normally get as much time as needed to warm up a pitcher

after an injury?

I'm staring at an ice-cold pitcher on the mound against a red-hot Cubs team.

Am I confused or is this a mistake/bug/glitch on The Show/SCEA's part?

It's 8 pitches when you bring in a reliever. With a cold reliever coming in as a result of an injury, I believe it's still 8 pitches but the umpire may allow more. I think it goes back to speeding up the game.

The pitcher only appears cold in the bullpen. Once you put them in the game they'll perform as a fully warm pitcher.

Yes, normally they do.

No, a pitcher in real life is allowed as many pitches as he wants to warm up when coming in because of injury.

In the game... see my above post.

Yes, normally they do.

Thank you.

I guess I'll toss this in the... bugs thread?

I think it does this because it is a Video Game. Last I checked.

This isn't a bug. You're not going to be allowed to sit there and throw 45 pitches until you max out every pitch.

As opg4 said, it's a video game.

So the simple solution would be to automatically make a guy warm after an injury

Being that it's a video game and all. That's what you said, right?

As I already said, they are warm once they take the mound. There might be a bug with the warmth meter display prior to them throwing live pitches, but once they are in the game they perform at the level of a pitcher who is fully warm.
