  I had a recent progressive team that was out of contention so i did an experiment on how fatigue would affect a catchers defense.I posted his hitting stats also.
The Mulder experiment was just to see how far i could push a starter. I didn't change his PC, it was 90-95 with a pull of 1 from game 80 on.
I'm no expert on how the sim works,but I expected fatigue to take a much bigger hit on performance.

my guess is that if Mulders fatigue was better his era would have went down a little.  But I'm glad you did this, I'm always scarred to put fatigued guys in there.  Also, Good luck with your Stiff Pigeon team, I'm in your league (GoodSox2). =)

Fillies -- interesting experiment.  But you skipped the part where Hartnett got so fatigued that he kept calling for fastballs down the middle that were getting creamed.

fatigue is sometimes hidden by the use of greenies.......so until he gets busted on a drug test, I think you're fine!

I've been using fatigued players since this experiment with the same results.If you look at Mulders ERA it didn't change that much from when he was fully rested until he was throwing at 60%

I'm pretty strick about resting my players when I get a chance, maybe I should loosen the reigns a little. Thanks.

well cy really won the battle but not the war.  What kind of pitch count do you give these 260 plus inning pitchers?

Don't look at total innings to determine pitch counts, look at IP/G.  The consensus opinion here is to multiply IP/G by 15 or 16.

o yes that is the formula you taught me before. My Doc White and Rube Waddell are .500 pitchers right now and are doing good but I thought adjusting their pitch count could make them better.
