Why can't I change my SP?

I want to start a different guy, but it is seemingly impossible.

The only thing i can do is "rest" the guy who starts, but then i still can't choose who is starting, and my setup guy is supposed to start.

Once a pitcher is scheduled(ball next to his name), it's out of your hands.

Does anybody know what happens when you click on "Copy to Clip" that is one of the Boxscore Options at the top of the boxscore ? I tried it and if the boxscore is saved somewhere, I can' find it.

There is another possibility. If your current starter is not #5 or #6, you can make him a tandem starter, drop his pitch count to 5, and have the B starter use a normal pitch count instead of a standard tandem pitch count.

So your guy is Starter #4; make him Tandem 4A and change Starter #5 to Tandem 4B.

The catch is that you can't have numbered starters after tandem starters, so you might have to juggle your rotation before and after this game, but it'll prevent your accidental starter from throwing a ton of pitches, and give you control over who throws the bulk of the pitches that game.

This one has me buffaloed : I have a Pitcher--Closer type--that has a velocity rating of 88; a control rating of 80 and yet he is listed (and rated, very well I might add ) for only two pitches: curveball and change up...????

I think that means pitches are randomly assigned.

Has anyone found pitchers performances to improve when there's a good game-caller behind the plate? I'm guessing that it would, but 6 games into Spring Training, I don't have much hard data. Thanks.

What happens if you're over your budget on payroll after Spring Training?

With so many other factors affecting performance, I'm not sure it's even possible to reach that conclusion. In theory, though, the answer would be yes.

I believe pitcher settings do not change no matter when you move a pitcher from one level to another. Whether it's returning them after ST, promoting them, or demoting them, I believe they stay the same.

should you put minor leaguers on your 40 man roster prior to spring training or once spring training begins
