What difference does a closer rating make?
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:30 pmIs a C6 better than a C1 or a reliever that doesn't have a C rating? How can this affect the dice rolls?

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.

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.
