Pitcher Fatigue?

[vinman]

APBA Go, are there any pitcher fatigue considerations? If so can anyone explain or point me to explanation?

@vinman , as far as I know: the only fatigue is if you turn on the “optional pitching rule”. That drops the pitchers grade by a letter for every 5 earned runs. I would love to see them add something in the future.

There is no basic game fatigue other than the 5 run thing… various people use their own house rules for rest for relievers for a season, but Go would need to start taking games in your collection into account for that.

I’d love that, but seems a HUGE change.

I’ve definitely seem some custom ratings using batters faced and things of that nature for starters in game, but there is no offical APBA basic rule in that regard.

I always click on the optional pitching rule where a pitcher is downgraded after five earned runs in three innings. Other than that, I have only two ‘house’ rules re: pitcher fatigue… and both can easily be implemented when playing GO.
a) No starting pitcher can face more than 40 batters before being removed.
b) Pitchers with an asterisk grade-only must come out after recording his sixth out.
Both are fairly basic, but they’re easy to keep track of and work well for me.

@RandySteinman good ideas

[TSBL]

so one we use is we have a fatigue chart if a pitcher goes beyond the limit he walks the first batter he faces after limit is met (IBB in APBA go)
its the only penalty we could think of using the basic game apba go because we cant lower his grade in GO

[TSBL]

oh and if he goes 3 batter beyond his limit he loses his Z if he has one. we do this by again ignoring the Z and IBB him. kind of simple but its all we have to work with to penalize a pitcher who is fatigued mess with his control
