Pitching warmup problem

[chitown]

Not really sure if this is a bug of just something overlooked. Here was the scenario. I was using the White Sox and in the second inning G. Floyd gets hurt ( I know big surprise there) since it is still spring training I decide to use another starter Quintana to get some innings in. Well when he comes in he gets his 8 warm up pitches and is still showing as "Cold" which he would be. My thing is by rule if a pitcher has to leave because of injury the pitcher replacing him has as much time as needed to get ready. I guess what I am saying is in the game if it is an injury replacement he should be "Warm" for those 8 warmup pitches and not be penalized...

Again don't know it this should be a bug or not but should be addressed..

Thanks

It is said that pitchers who replace injured players are already warm even though the game says they are cold.

Pretty sure they come in warm. Maybe the "warm" doesn't happen until after the warm up pitches, which should be addressed...but personally I have the warm up pitches off. Also, if they didn't come in warm, you would have to throw like 20+ "warm up" pitches before you could move on...which seems utterly boring to me.

In the end, the result is that you get a warm pitcher when you face the first batter.

I agree with you that throwing 20+ warm-up pitches would be boring. All I am suggesting is that if a pitcher is injured then his replacement should already be warm when you take your 8 warm-up pitches. I leave warm-up on because it is a little more realistic that way. I don't know about him being warm and it not showing because my pitcher had little control until the next inning when he was warm.

^^ What SYD said. It's a display bug thats been in for several years, the new pitcher DOES come in warm though it doesn't show as such.
