Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

Okay I surrender. Cannot put a handle on this puppy and need some expert advice, even non expert will do.

Have a team with three stud starting pitchers and one low, low, low priced starter. Bullpen is slightly less than okay.

My aim is to have my studs throw until there arms drop off, and I have been successful at accomplishing that so far.

Then when my low priced chucker pitches, my aim is to have him pulled at the drop of a hat, or a bunt, whatever comes first. This is where the problem has been occurring. The studs are throwing complete games, but my dud is lasting way too long without being yanked. Pitching 7, 8, even 9 innings before the fire goes out.

What pitcher settings should I be using for the dud? I want him gone early, and use my bullpen to its maximum ONLY when he pitches.

Been playing this game long enough that I should have figured it out by now, but, I must have missed that class with my teacher Nev.

Any suggestions, comments, and even smart ass remarks will be taken into account. Thanks

For teams I run like that, I first set Relief to Aggressive on the Team Strategy page.
Then, I set my 3 studs to Don't Relieve Before F8.
Set the dud to Quick Hook, Don't Pitch past 6th.

That way, HAL is very aggressive in relieving your dud, but he waits until your Studs start to become less effective before relieving them. If you find your studs coming out sooner than you'd like, set Relief to Normal on Team Strategy page.

I would do something like this, but probably set the F setting lower for the studs. F5 or F6. Maybe lower if they start coming out sooner than I'd like them to

Yes, Steve, I just find that they start falling real fast once they drop past F8.

True. We're probably only talking about facing one or two more batters this way

Thank you
