What difference does a closer rating make?

Postby franky35 » Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:30 pm

Is a C6 better than a C1 or a reliever that doesn't have a C rating? How can this affect the dice rolls?

I could be wrong, but doesn't a C1 tire much quicker than a C6?

Franky, C#'s brings into play the "@"results on the pitchers card just like fatigue does on R#'s.

The C# represents the number of OUTS the Closer can pitch before fatigue sets in. Different than the R# which represents the number of innings.

Using a pitcher WITHOUT a C rating in a closing situation, automatically activates the fatigued rule.

When a pitcher is fatigued, the @s convert to Single**. "@"s are frequently on 7 and 8s so it is big impact.

There's more to it but this is it essentially.

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.

Rob, Thanks, wow closer is kind of a big deal. Right now I'm stuck without a decent closer, so I'll have to try and find one.

Yep, you may be piling up in the blown saves if not. Also, check where the @ are, some pitchers have them on 5's and 9's, which isn't so bad.
