A S8*/R4 pitcher and his fatigue question...
So, let's say he has not pitched in five straight games...he's not in your rotation, he is in your bullpen...then HAL brings him in for a 2 inning relief appearance...
Can you then plug him in for a spot start the very next game...and he will start that game un-fatigued?

Or how about this scenario...again, no appearances for five games, the you spot start him and he pitches 7 good innings then is relieved, then you take him out of the rotation, and make him available for HAL to use in the bullpen...will HAL possibly bring him in the next game as a reliever?...and if he does...does he come in to that game fatigued?

I guess my question is, what are the fatigue parameters for a pitcher like this?

Thanks in advance.

I also am curious about this. Can this fully rested pitcher relieve, then start the very next game fully rested?

SOM is very tight-lipped about how fatigue works.

In general, pitchers recover far too quickly after pitching a lot of innings. One day of rest seems to be all a reliever needs to be fresh.

I don't know if a pitcher can start unfatigued after pitching two innings the previous game, but I too am curious.

Try it and report back.

Yes, you can spot start him with no fatigue under the above circumstances--with online though the only game you can be sure of this scenario is the first game of a three game set.

Is the online game using the Super Advanced rules? If so, the cards and dice chart is:

For an SP*
Previous outing innings / days rest needed
1 / 1
2 / 1
3 / 2
4 / 2
5 / 3
6 / 3
7 / 3
8 / 3
9 / 3
10+ / 4

So no, if an SP*/RP pitched in game 100, he would be fatigued if he started game 101, rested if he started game 102

For a non SP*:
1 / 1
2 / 2
3 / 2
4 / 3
5 / 3
6 / 4
7 / 4
8 / 4
9 / 4
10+ / 5

I will admit I'm not sure, but I thought that chart was if he started the previous game (and maybe got knocked out early) as opposed to relieving---if the above chart were true the SP/RP that didn't start a game could not relieve two games in a row like any normal relief only pitcher.

Hmmmmm, could be milleram. You could be right. I am pretty sure that this only applies to starting a game, so the pitcher could relieve in back to back games. You're other point may be right, that the table only applies if the previous appearance was a start.

I may have only confused things

Let me see If I can find the rule book for this.
