I'm playing on HOF and man is it difficult to get SP's longer than 6 at the most.

First off, the first inning or two is the most difficult to get the pitcher in rhythm. On average I might have a first inning going 16-20 pitches and then if they don't give up any runs they gain confidence.

Second, when the stamina meter starts to hit yellow they get REALLY erratic and start throwing beachballs to the hitter. This usually happens in the late 5th or early 6th (85+ pitches).

There's also usually at least an at bat or two per game where the hitter goes through a 8+ pitch at bat.

I find myself constantly only using SP's for 5 innings (6 if they're pitching incredible) and using RP's for the other innings. This is w a rotation of all 85+ overall pitchers

do people have tips on how to have SP's last longer?
