That is 3 of 40 teams since 20 teams that used more than 4 starting pitchers. And sure it would be fine if after 5 days the pitcher had say 75% of his energy back. But he doesnt. Its not even half at times. Your pitcher would be out of energy by the 3rd or 4th and then you are pitching at a disadvantage. Now i havent went and looked at how many inning those guys were pitching for the teams that never used more than 4. But ill damn sure take the time if i have to.

Yeah I'm sorry SCEA but if that's working as intended, it's just a poor decision on your parts.

Especially the fact that a pitcher only recoups stamina on game days, so "off days" don't count.
