How many games can one pitcher appear in? What happens after that?

btw-doesnt the new search function suck??? or maybe I'm missing something...

81 games is the most you can appear at 100%.

It sucks.

Booger do you mean that even if you keep a pitcher at close to 100% by limiting IPs just making an appearance contributes to fatigue?

appearance fatigue kicks in when a pitcher appears in over 70% of his teams games. that's a lot more than 81 games.
There is another kind of fatigue when appearing in back-to-back games. When a pitcher makes an appearance he loses his 10% bonus for the next game only. If he stays below his allotted pitch count before the 10% bonus he'll remain at 100% for the following game.

I think that is wrong.   Unless they changed it I think it around 110.

Where did you find out the "lose the 10% bonus" thing rbow?  I've never seen it explained that way.   It makes a lot of sense.

I figured it out by watching it happen.

No wonder booger is jealous of you......that's pretty damn clever man.    Granted I am an idiot, but the cause of that  "tired from recent activity" tag has been eluding me since they fixed the Superman Long A strategy.

That is seemingly good information, Rbow, though I've never seen it done. I'd be interested in seeing a link if anyone has one of making more than 81 appearances at 100%. I know I tried using Walsh (510 IP)that way. I threw away the first 25 games or so before I ever started him, so that he would stay well under pace the entire season, and hopefully pitch in as many as 110 unfatigued games. DIdn't work. Something like 90 games, with 72ish at 100%and the others in the high 80's.

From my experience, you can centainly pitch in back to back games, but you have to be well under pace. I'll have to look at what Rbrains described sometime.

So far, with a couple games to go:

Gene Dale '15 (R)

100%

119 G

I've played around quite a bit with appearance fatigue. I've had several pitchers get between 111-117 games at 100%, 117 is my best, done once, with the 1886 Tim Keefe. They've since disappeared, but once upon a time I had threads dedicated to both a season of Silver King and the above mentioned Tim Keefe where I posted all of their starts showing how to get more than 700 IP and more than 100 starts at 100% out of the big inning pitchers. This was shortly after admin implemented the appearance fatigue and everyone thought the appearance fatigue meant that you couldn't get more than 81 starts or 680 IP out of a pitcher.

Admins described the 70% appearance fatigue in detail several times, and while they haven't described the 10% fatigue that rbow mentions, it also makes alot of sense and is close to (but makes more sense than) the assumption I've made on how it works.

Were all his appearances at 100%?

I had a AAA pitcher throw 99 games he fell down to 95% 4 time early in the season.But the last month around 20 games he was & 100% all of them.
