And than getting the best rested pitcher in after that.
Has any one tried this and how would I actually set it up.
I currently use a tandem set up.

Anyone you want to start the game has to be in either an SP or Tandem slot. And the pitch counts for those slots won't let you go lower than 40. Now, if your Closer is getting lit up he'll get pulled earlier than 40 pitches, but I don't think you really have that in mind.

Ideally for this you'd want a RP who can comfortably throw 40 pitches, at minimum 80 Durability and 30 Stamina.

Set him at 5 pull rating, but yeah he needs the stamina to throw 40 pitches as a tandem A

Ok Thanks that makes sense. I won't be able to make it work.

If you want to get really creative, put him in the starter slot until the ball appears next to his name. Then, move him into the bullpen prior to the game. The ball will still appear next to him and he'll get the start, but you'll be able to lower his pitch count as low as you want. Then just move your next desired starter into the SP1 slot. It requires regular attention, but it has worked in instances where I made a trade involving the next game's starter and wanted to get him out after 5 pitches to reduce chances for an injury.

This is the correct answer. +1
