Does anybody know in Mystery format ....... does Hal give you a clue by removing your SP in 5 innings or less if your card in in a weak year? I've have SP who are removed early 5 games in a row and I still have no idea what year it might be in......
Interesting question....it could depend on your team strategy settings. What is your use relief settings? Are they being pinch hit for? Are they getting hit hard?
I don't have any evidence for this, but my feeling is that it is a factor; in other words, my feeling is that HAL does pitch better cards more innings than bad years.
I'm currently playing an '80s league team and experimenting with no bullpen roles and no limitations on starters. My team has the lowest WHIP (1.26) and 29 complete games to lead the league through 105 games. But I'm reading Michael Lewis' The Undoing Project so I'm reluctant to draw any immediate conclusions : )
