Player usage by Sparky Topic


Why does Sparky refuse to use Mark Williamson? He has been checkmarked in the advanced pitcher settings in the relief box all season. Currently we are at game 50 of the season.

He's just last in the hierarchy because of his OAV and the game isn't going long enough to get to him.

Looked at your team and you have

Darling Long A
Cary, Harris, Honeycutt, Williamson Setup A
Bailes Setup B

In blowouts, Darling and Bailes will be the first two used. Then it will go to the Setup A guys in order of OAV with the lowest first.

In close games, it will start with the Setup A guys, same logic on OAV. Since it's a progressive you have more innings than you need so your bullpen isn't being stretched. He'll be used eventually if the other Setup A guys get tired or a game goes long enough into extras.
