To all,

I want to make sure I have my settings correct in order to maximize my set-up and closers role.

In the manager’s setting I have:

Closer usage: Maximize

Relief Usage: Aggressive

Setup man: Sanchez on both

Closer: Rodriquez on both

Intentional Walk: Aggressive

Individual Cards

Sanchez: Avoid LHB, Slow Hook, Avoid using during blowout, Avoid before 7th inning, Max of 2 to 3 IP.

Rodriquez: Avoid LHB, Slow Hook, Avoid using during blowout, Avoid before 8th inning, Max of 1 to 2 innings.

My other relievers are set to Quick Hook and max at 1 to 2 IP.

Should this result in maximizing Sanchez’s and Rodriquez’s use?

Thanks

I haven't experimented alot but he's my thoughts.

I only use Closer Maximize when I'm using a cheap closer. With Rodriguez I would use normal and have him set up & close both ways.

I would not have avoid LHB for Rodriquez or Sanchez. Hal will try and take them out and my guess is you don't want a cheaper reliever to come in.

I don't use aggressive for relief usage and definitely not aggressive with the intentional walk.

To get max innings out of your two best RP I would have Rodriguez set up & close both ways, slow hook, not before 8th, avoid blow out.

Sanchez I would not check anything except slow hook, but make sure you have a cheapy set for mopup.
