I need help setting a pitching rotation. I have starters with 700 IP, 336 IP

and 200 Ip. I want to set the 336 IP #1,the 700 IP #2 and #4,then the 200

IP guy #3...so in effect,the 700 IP guy is starting every other game,as if it were two 350 IP pitchers...how is that done?

Set the 700IP guy to starter #1.

Set the oyher two to a starter #2A and #2B (not tandem).

Just to further clarify, if you want to start the season, series or tournament with the 336IP guy, you need to set him as your #1, then revise the rotation after the first few games.

700 IP - Starter #1
336 IP - Starter #2a
200 IP - Starter #2b

I think this is about the only way to do it. Your pitching would look like this

Game

1- 700IP
2- 335IP
3- 700IP
4- 200IP
5- 700IP
6- 335IP
7- 700IP
8- 200IP

etc.

That all depends on how many games and IP you want your 700 IP guy to get...

I would recommend setting your rotation as:

336 IP - Starter #1 97 autorest
200 IP - Starter #2 99 autorest
700 IP - Starter #3 90 autorest

With pitch counts dependent on their respective IP/G and based on the number of starts and IP you want them to get. Realistically, the two shorter IP (or at least the 200 IP) guys will also likely need to be used in relief to maximize usage.

Your rotation will look something like this over the course of the season:

336
200
700
336
700
336
200
700
700
336
200
700
336
700
700
700
336
200
700

I agree.

Either use 2a and 2b or use a tandem. I'd recommend the tandem.
