Fatigue in relievers Topic

Question about relievers regarding fatigue and recovery.  Let's say you have a reliever with a DUR/STM of 90/25.  If he doesn't pitch for a while, and then throws 25 pitches in a game, it's likely his stamina for the next game is 100%, and he's good to go for another game.  If he pitches the game after that, his stamina for the following day might look something like 32(100).  

My question is - is he more likely to have an off day on the 2nd game, since he's more fatigued that day than he was for the 1st game?  Has anyone looked into this before?

So, your question really is: does the concept of in-game pitching fatigue exist in HBD?

You'll get different answers from different people.  

One answer that I remember that came from WIS at some point in the past, either in a dev chat, or in response to a ticket (I forget which) is that the pitcher's effectiveness is based upon their fatigue at the start of the game.  So if he starts at 100%, he pitches at 100%.  Which, if true, means that there is no in-game fatigue.

Others may disagree.

I have no definitive data or opinion either way.
