Starter Skipping- Already?

April 19, 2003 at 10:39PM View BBCode

I guess ABE knows sumpin about my rotation that I don't, because for Game 2, he skipped ahead to my #3 starter, Blondie Adams, bypassing my #2 guy, Terry Whiteside.

My first game was started by my long reliever, and my second game started by my #4 starter! Wierd bug due to the new preferences?

It hasn't been a problem for me.

ABE really doesn't like my #2 starter, Terry Whiteside.

Through 4 games, he hasn't thrown a pitch.

Brad, I think I fixed your problem.

Rick, I can't figure out how to fix your problem. I am looking into it now.

There are two problems going on here.

The first problem is that there needs to be some offseason logic to reset some of the SP stuff for starters. I'll add that in.

The 2nd issue I think might just need some clarification. If you use the Never Skip a Starter, or Only Skip 5th Starter, then Abe will go through your rotation 1-2-3-4-5. But lets say its the #2 guys turn to pitch and he is still tired, it will use the #3 guy in the next game. Then it will continue 4-5-1-2-3.

Any thoughts on this? Should the #2 guy pitch tired if he comes up? Should this option be simply scrapped? Maybe I should add some text to one of the pages (maybe rotation and bullpen) that says "Your 3rd Starter pitched last game, your 4th Starter will pitch in the next game"?

I would vote for the text idea, because I like the idea of being able to give equal starts to all my SPs.

Tyson,

I understand now. I though "skip 5th starter" meant only skip the #5 guy...

Doh!

That is an option I would like, though. If my #1 guy is rested and it's #5's turn, I'd rather pitch #1 and start over at the beginning of the rotation...

Wait... Skip 5th starter doesn't just try to skip the #5 guy as much as possible?

I have the same question as Brad here. I thought that skip 5th starter ment your #5 starter.

Yes, it will go through 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, but I think I need to fix the logic for when the 5th starter is skipped, but the 1st starter isn't the guy who pitches next. I think I need to fix it, not sure though.
