F settings

I need a refresher on the F settings, how should I set them?

Great question wondering the same thing. After reading the wiki, I am still confused if a low F rating or higher F rating extends a starting pitchers time on the mound.

I read the wiki too. The higher the f number the less tired your pitcher is. So I think the line of thinking would be you would want your pitcher removed from the game as he starts to tire, maybe around 6 or 7. In my experience playing strat on the computer, with this pitch count feature in place (F number), as the f number goes down, the walks and hits start to increase.

I leave the F setting for most of my pitchers blank. If I have an ace starter (or two), I will set them to F8 or maybe F7.

If I have a backup closer/mop-up guy, I'll set him to F8. I might set my main mop-up guy to F8 or F7, or I might simply set him to slow hook.

And finally, if my bullpen is tired and the first pitcher in the next series is decent, I'll give him a temporary rating of F8 or F7.

I'm not saying this is the "right" way, but it's how I usually do it. Note: I usually have a decent and deep bullpen. Teams with weak bullpens will probably want to make more use of the F ratings.
