Well I lost my hit streak when I got called up to AAA half way through the season and had to start everything over at zero I tried to start a new one but only got to 6 then lost it in a game where I went 0-4. It's harder in AAA because the pitchers are much better.

Well I'm having a so-so year in my first year in the bigs. I'm almost done with August, and after having been named the closer in May I've notched 30 saves, but have an ERA sitting right at 5.00.

Hopefully I get a little better in the ERA department next season.

I agree 100% ... in baseball imho the closer is the coolest role in the game ... i love being a closer as well in RTTS ... i created a tall slinky 6'9" 200lbs hard throwing sidewinder type pitcher, he has a hard Sinker, Running FB, and a mean Slider ... just started my 3rd year with the D-Backs AAA club the Reno Aces, fun times.

You got promted to the closer role faster then I did. I had a similar deal with a decent amount of saves and a high ERA.

Haven't you heard? digital McKeon retired and in an effort to not have to pay a manager, digital Loria now uses a dart board to determine the lineup and positions in this game.

My current RttS player is a CF, a starting All-Star leading the league in SB, AVG and Hits centerfielder. Second position is OF. Despite this, I've played (after pinch-hitting) an inning at second base twice, third base once, and catcher twice (including a 2-inning stint one of those times). This is in 1.5 years in MLB.

Is there a way to change your pitcher from a starter to a late reliever/closer? After being used as a reliever I've decided I like it much better, but now I'm being used as a starter exclusively and not doing well.

You can make it your secondary position whenever you want but if you want it to be your primary position you will have to wait for the interaction to come up that allows you to change your position if the manager let's you
