Well, I do that whenever I can. Just wise imho.

I guess if you fall for this more than once than it's your own fault, but how bush league can you get
THAT is f'd. I'd be ******. Posse was a d!ck to be sure.

I was agreeing with the point that no one does it in RL, not saying it shouldn't be done here.

Now that is a good time to use the Exit button

whats wrong with this???

The problem is If I Start JR RICHARD who is at %80 and in no way intending him to pich to more than a couple batters the other owner cant tell he is fatigued. Then I bring in Randy Johnson for 5 innings VS a righty set lineup. Its kinda like declaring war after the first bombs come crashing thru your Bulkhead. ) There is a reason why in Sim games.....the min pitch count is set at 40 pitches.

This is a somewhat common tactic being used in HBD, as an FYI.

People have been starting low stamina RP and then bringing in their higher stamina SP of different arm in 2nd or 3rd inning.

A pitchout button would resolve this issue immediately.

Nothing wrong with this.. Would you rather the person just wait like a retard for you to select your SP 1st?

I don't think there is anything wrong with that. I think it is good Strategy

I have hit the sub button on a number of occasions with the pitcher up only to realize that it is the pitcher up and I do not want to sub unless I see my opponent bring in a PH first. I'll usually say "ns" of course, but it happens all the time.

I do this one. It is a strategy I have always used, I may change to a 'mop up' pitcher and a 'rest starters' lineup if I see that I am facing your ace. I apologize if this is not good LIVE etiquette, but I do it all the time.

Will, so why should I give you the advanatge of always seeing who my starter is. The visitor should select first and then the home team, that way it is even.
