Starter in LR slot spot/#6 starting

[forme95]

If I have a SP in the LR slot and have him spot start like a #6 guy, will he lose/recover energy like a SP or like a reliever? I have stanimas at Starters 6 and relievers 4.

If a guy starts the game, I assume starter stamina lose rate applies.

I suggest you PM - Nomo17k and find out

I did a 6 man rotation 2 seasons (in game) ago with SP stamina at 6 and RP stamina at 4. Worked great. Then 16 came along with player morale and kind of screwed over my rotation. But that is a different topic.

Point is, it worked great for me back in 15. I doubt it's any different in 17.

It's a good thing I want to work a five man rotation now. I veer off topic again, but I would be interested in how it's working out for you if you choose to pursue a 6 man rotation. I have a situation coming up next season where it could be a possibility.

I know that I can just remember what order I was in and who I played last game, and even check the stamina of the pitchers to figure out who was last, but I play the show year round, and I sometimes take big breaks. When I come back I often just load up a game without thinking too much, so I could potentially pick the pitcher that the computer loaded as opposed to who I had scheduled in my head.

Sorry to dump a ton on your thread. Feel free to not answer, I'm just curious is all.

It works out fine. It goes by starter stamina. C Anderson went 7 innings and 103 pitches, in the last game. That was spot starting him from the LRP spot.


I only run a 6 man when I get to the long 13+ game stretches really. I'm not running it the whole season. When I get to that stretch of games, I never can get a full rest on 5 days. With the changes this year to the SP, If I were to pull the SP early to make sure he was 100% for the next start, I'd only get 4, 5 innings which is fine, but when they are playing well, I hate pulling someone like Kluber or Salazaar out with only 75 pitches.
I actually keep a spreadsheet on my franchise. In one slot I have a list of the 6 starters, and next to it, I put the date(in game) of the last start. I leave the pitching rotation in menu screen alone. When I start a game, if the schedule starter isn't 100 %, I go to the next full guy. But like I said, its only on the long stretches. It works back to normal rotation after a day off.

How does it work if you use a spot starter? Does it automatically skip the turn in the rotation?

If you spot start for the #2 pitcher, then yes, the cpu will start the #3 guy not the #2 guy the next game. That's why I have to keep track of the last start date when I have to use it. You could always just start the guy that's 100% I guess lol.

Because you can't necessarily move the pitchers down to get back on track cause you will make your ace mad that he's not in the #1 spot.

Got it. There were old games where you could choose what turn the starter was on and could move to a 4 man or 6 man rotation. I don't know why the best baseball game ever cannot have this feature.
