Does a pitcher's performance weaken when left warming up in the bullpen for too long?

Does leaving a pitcher being warmed up in the bullpen for too long weaken his arm and effect pitching performance when put into the game?

I believe their stamina starts to drain. They only need a few batters to get warm then you can change them to “ready and waiting” to avoid negative effects

Thanks you.

I'd suggest turning the warm up relievers option off. This way no matter what they're fully warmed up. I personally could care less about tossing warm up pitches. But mainly if you have an injury or caught in a pinch, forget to warm up someone cause it's a video game. It doesn't effect you or the AI in a negative way.

If a pitcher gets injured, your replacement pitcher comes in already warmed up. But I have warm up relievers turned off anyway just in case I forget. And I still warm up my relievers when I remember.

Oh I didn't know they came in warm if you had an injury. And yeah, I still warm up guys and even give them the ol ready and waiting option. But turning it off is best option for me just in case I forget. Or maybe I put up runs and I'm up by 4 or 5 now instead of one run. Now I can rest my SU guy or CP or whatever, and instead get someone else in who needs some work without worrying about if they're fully warm or not.

At one time they did tire if you left them warming up for too long so I always remember to put them on ready and waiting after they warm up but I'm not sure they tire now like they used to. I still put them on ready and waiting out of habit.

Following this thread....I've always wondered about this too.
