Question about relief pitchers availability?

[MrHacktastic]

I understand the stamina rating for a reliever within a game but how do I know if he is ready for the next game? If a guy is both a SP and RP how long does he need after a relief outing before he is 100%? The question may be stupid but I really don't get it.

If I had a starter 7/relief 4 pitch an inning 2 games ago when is he available to start without a fatigue factor? If a reliever with a 3inning stamina pitches 3 innings when is he available again out of the pen again?

I think all of this will help answer your questions:

[quote:36fb38a1bb]27.52 A pitcher used in relief in his last outing should have at least one day of rest before starting. If he does not have this day of rest, consider him fatigued for his entire start.

27.53 If a pitcher who does not have a rating as a starter must start a game, give him a POW inning of 4.

27.54 The maximum number of innings a starter can pitch without fatigue is 11.

27.55 A starter who "doesn't have it" may "lose his stuff" before his POW inning. If a starter gives up 5 runs in any one inning, 6 runs in any two consecutive innings, or 7 runs in any three consecutive innings, consider him fatigued and convert all readings followed by dots to SINGLE** (all other runners advancing two bases).

27.6 RELIEF PITCHERS

27.61 A pitcher used as a starter in his last outing must rest the number of days indicated in the Super Advanced Starting Pitcher Rest Chart before his next appearance, whether it is as a starter or reliever. If a relief pitcher is used without this proper rest, consider him fatigued for the entire relief outing.

27.62 If a pitcher who does not have a rating as a relief pitcher must pitch in relief, give him a POW inning of 1.

27.63 The maximum number of innings a reliever can pitch without fatigue is his POW inning, plus 2.

27.64 [b:36fb38a1bb]Relief pitchers cannot be used more than two straight days. After pitching two straight days, he must rest at least one day.[/b:36fb38a1bb][/quote:36fb38a1bb]

I've been using a Bullpen Usage Greasmonkey script but I always forget to refer to it so I'm not sure if it's all that useful. It shows consecutive relief appearances since the last game.

Wow, that is way over my head lol. I have no idea how to do a "script". It looks very helpful though.

Thanks for the post with the breakdown of everything. That was very helpful and answered my questions completely. Thanks again.
