[quote:46436c4b72="ths92110"]Just got into the East division tonight: 5/24 teams have actually loaded:

LETS GO!! = )

PS. Can anyone explain the closer ruler in a nutshell or point me to a link? ?[/quote:46436c4b72]

The closer rating refers to the number of outs a reliever can get in a save situation before fatigue starts to set in. A C6 can get 6 outs in a save situation before becoming fatigued; a C1 can get one out. That's assuming they don't get clobbered and become fatigued that way.

[voovits]

Actually I think it means how many outs before they are subject to fatigue.
A C0 or C1 could pitch a perfect 9th inning without getting fatigued.
I think once you hit that limit on outs, you automatically become fatigued after you allow a baserunner.
Relievers with no C rating at all are automatically fatigued.

Here's what the Super-Advanced Rules say, though I found this online and am not sure of its accuracy:

[quote:852f63b211]Closer Situation

A "closer situation" occurs whenever the defensive team has the lead and the tying run is at-bat or on-base from the 9th inning on. When this situation occurs then observe the following rule changes:

Reliever being brought into the game

When bringing a relief pitcher into the game in a closer situation ignore his Relief Endurance rating. Instead use his Closer Endurance rating to determine the number of outs he can record before he loses his effectiveness.

Once this number of outs have been recorded, the pitcher will lose his effectiveness as soon as he allows a hit or a walk. If a pitcher is rated 0, then he loses his effectiveness as soon as he allows a hit or a walk. When a pitcher loses his effectiveness, he has reached his POW.

If the pitcher being brought into the game in a closer situation has a Closer Endurance rating of "N", then he enters the game with the loss effectiveness penalty already in affect (he has reached his POW). For pitchers rated as a "N", this penalty is always in effect starting with the first batter they face in a closer situation.

Reliever currently in the game

If the pitcher in the game has a Closer Endurance rating of "N", then he immediately loses his effectiveness (he reaches his POW.)

If the pitcher in the game has a Closer Endurance rating of 0 to 6, you should subtract the number of outs that he has already recorded in this game from his closer rating. This number becomes his Closer Endurance for this game. If the computed number is less than 0, then accept 0 as his Closer Endurance for this game.

Follow the rules outlined above (under "Reliever being brought into the game") using this computed Closer Endurance instead of his actual rating.[/quote:852f63b211]

thanks for the C clarification. If it takes Strat that long to explain it, perhaps they should make it simpler.

Not sure I will play the 90s because of this.
