It was reading the thread about F rating and the change in distribution on dice rolls toward hitters. Maybe that explains why some of my big $$ SPs and closers perform poorly in high cap leagues, often I set them to F7.

What is the effect of slow hook on the same dice roll distribution? Is this a better approach to leaving SPs in the game a bit longer?

Unfortunately I have little clue what slow hook or quick hook gets treated by the underlying engine. There were posts when the bullpen v2 first came out that seemed to indicate beta testers found it best not to mix setting F level and slow/quick settings. But that was a while back so memory could be fuzzy and/or I could have misinterpreted what was said at that time. Tempted to say I remember something being posted about one canceling the other but just too far back to say with confidence.

On SPers I generally set nothing to start season and then set to slow or quick hook depending on results. I have for the most part accepted in high cap leagues starters are going to get pummeled. Super pummeled gets you set on quick hook and half way decent gets set for slow hook.

Closers are a bit of a mystery for me. Seems like I get poorer results from most relievers when just using them for 50-100 innings than others do making super relievers out of them and piling up 300. In general though specialists are set to quick hook to hopefully minimize mismatches against me and nothing for general relievers.
