Helping the Automanager


Set your Starting Rotation to put your best five starters in order from #1 through #5. The automanager will take these in order when they are rested.
When does the Automanager pull a pitcher?


The Automanager will pull a pitcher when he is tired. This is determined by his stamina, and if he was pitched on short rest. The maximum pitch count may be extended to get out of an inning or to complete five innings. The Automanager will also pull a pitcher if he gives up 8 runs, earned or otherwise. Under no circumstances will the Automanager pull a SP which has not given up a hit. The Automanager will also not pull a pitcher for fatigue who does not have any runners on base.

Manager Controls: You can use the "Pitcher Substitutions:" option to add an additional 15 or 30 pitches to the max pitch count or to shorten an outing by 15 pitches.

The Automanager will also pull a pitcher to put in Holders and Closers under the top 5 circumstances described to the left.

Manager Controls: You can use the "Holder & Closer Substitutions:" option to disable this type of substitution.

The Automanager will bring in a pinch hitter for a Starting Pitcher when the pitcher has surpassed his pitch count. The Automanager will always bring in a pinch hitter for an RP.

Manager Controls: You can use the "Pitcher Substitutions:" option to disable always pinch hitting for an RP. If this option is set to an additional 15 or 30 pitches, the Automanager will not make this substitution.

The Automanager will bring in a pinch hitter for a position player when the opposing Starting Pitcher has been relieved and the handedness has changed and when the player in that position is different in the vs. LHP and vs. RHP lineups. In this case, the Automanager will substitute out that player in a straight switch when he comes to bat.

Manager Controls: You can use the "Pinch Hitter Substitutions:" option to disable this behavior.
