What's the best way to NOT have pitchers pinch-hit for other pitchers late in the game?

Set up pinch hitters in settings and have enough bench guys

All of that is set up, doesn't really help when I'm in the NL and a game goes into extras.

Only REAL way is to uncheck the "Allow PH" on your late inning guys...

Not what you're looking for i know, but that's the only correct answer.

(This is hockey1984, my account I split with my dad for our HBD team)

this guy is blowing my mind right now.

https://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerRatings.aspx?pid=10097691

i thought with his stamina / durability rating I’d have him throw 50 pitches before he zeroed out. But he’s throwing 80-90 and then is back to full health a day after.

how do you get the most out of him? Have him throw 120 and go 0(0) for a few days? Have him pitch every other day.

i feel like this guy could throw 400 innings if I could crack the code on this one.

I think that if you also want maximum performance-- if you want his ERA to be around 2.8 instead of the 3.2 he's at now-- you have two choices.
A) If you need him to be a starter, I'd run his pitch count at 60/65, and start him mostly every other day with occasional breaks. I think you'd get right on 300 innings that way.
B) If he can be in your bullpen, I'd set him as SuA, pitch count 40/45, and expect to get just under 300 innings by pitching ~2 2/3 innings about 110 games.

That said, your pitching isn't anything special, so if you wanted to push him to a higher innings count at the cost of giving up some runs due to in-game fatigue, I'd start him every other day, set his pitch count to 70/75, and keep increasing the pitch count by 5 until he begins having to miss starts due to fatigue. He's probably a better pitcher fatigued than most of your staff is rested, and the 97 health offers some protection against in-game fatigue related injury.

So, to give prespective, after the last game he pitched his health was 54(100). I’ve had really really good starters drop to 0(20) and still be effective. Right now his ERA is just due to a rough start but he is evening out.

You already know this, right? This is one of those pitchers who has a shot at vulturing 40-50 Ws per season. Use any three starters, give them 30-40 pitches, then bring this guy in to throw innings 4 through 6 or 7 two out of every three games. As long as the openers don't get blown out, one guy gets half of your Ws. You've seen it done.

Remind me about the mom as the advisor? Will a prospect sign at all when it says “probably won’t sign” and mom is advisor?

There's about a half a percent chance he will actually sign. But I've seen it happen.

Anyone remember how long players that you drafted will take when they are ‘thinking about it’ before they respond to your first offer? I’d like to have my ‘probably won’t sign’ guy turn down my offer before the rookie season starts so I can actually field a team.
