I'm getting pummeled. It's the 8th inning and it's 12-3 bad guys. My entire bullpen has pitched in this game so HAL, who pinch hit for the last reliever with 1 man on and two outs in the bottom of the 7th, has to choose a starter to take the mound for the 8th and 9th.
His choices:
Kirbe Higbe (who started the previous game and would come in as an F0),
Wild Bill Donovan (hasn't pitched this season and has an R5)
Jackie May (also hasn't pitched this season and has an R5)
Donovan and May are slated to start in the upcoming two series, so that must have been the deciding factor in choosing Higbe and his F0 rating. The game wasn't really altered, Higbe struggled but the game was already over.
The question is, what would using Donovan and/or May have done to their starting fatigue levels?
