Does anyone raise their manager hook in the postseason? Just curious, if so how much?

Anyone????

I don't sim the postseason so I don't. I can see why you'd do so though and do you do the same for the CPU?

Thanks for the reply! Well, this is my first postseason so I was wanting to just get a general feeling about what others have done with theirs..

Yes, in the postseason, when simming, I use:
-Starter and Reliver stamina at 4
-CPU Manager Hook at 6

When you are playing games, one suggestion would be to put manager hook at 0 to start the game. As soon as the CPU is losing, OR goes to the bullpen (whatever comes first), raise it to 10. This way, you can display both a manager's desire to ride the starter (old school mentality) or rely on the bullpen (new school/sabermetric mentality); we see a mix of the two philosophies these days.

Unfortunately, my Reds franchise failed to reach the postseason but I was wanting to watch the games CPU vs CPU. What would be your recommendation for manager hook on those games?

10 for Wild Card games, 6 for all other rounds
