Bullpen pitching too well

I don't know why, but on my current Braves franchise my pitching is much better than it should be, especially my bullpen. I'm using the default HoF difficulty and sliders for pitching, except with a touch less CPU foul frequency, which is exactly what I've used on my other franchises and it's been fine, but our fairly average pitching staff leads the league in ERA, hits given up and HR conceded, with my bullpen leading the way. Something needs tweaking, but especially for the pen who are pitching like I have the greatest pen of all time instead of a bunch of average free agent pickups.

These are the stats after 80 games
Teheran- 4.01 ERA, 1.14 WHIP
Wisler- 2.86 ERA, 1.13 WHIP
Billingsley- 4.65/1.27
Blair- 3.26/1.08
Foltynewicz- 2.91/1.04

Starters a bit too well maybe, but not extreme, but then my very average bullpen

Rookie CP (72 rated)- 1.50 ERA/ 0.93 WHIP
Simmons- 1.67/0.93
Black- 0.90/0.83
Walden- 2.59/0.83
Cervanka- 1.95/0.87
Paco Rodriguez- 3.00/1.33
Y. Medina- 2.34/0.84

So my bullpen of mid 70's rated pitchers is all putting up all star type numbers, with only one with a WHIP over 1. Thoughts? Would dramatically lowering the reliever stamina help? I was planning on putting COM solid hits up by one to address the general overperforming?

My starter stamina slider is 4; reliever stamina is set at 0. I also limit starters and long relievers to a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 85 stamina rating. All relievers and closers have a stamina range of 25 to 35. These adjustments give me very realistic results on All-star, playing cpu-vs cpu-vs.

Re: Bullpen pitching too well

I have long thought the average reliever stamina should be closer to 15 than 25-30.

That's what I use for my relievers... IP divide by games, with minor modifications.. I do the same for starters so they aren't always at like 80, 90's. Pitchers with high IP will hit 90 but very rare in my rosters. Most are in 70-80's

Re: Bullpen pitching too well

Cheers for the tips gents, I've messed around with the stamina and it has had some effect, hopefully the right effect. Obviously it takes a long time to figure out if it's right or not, especially with relievers
