Is there a way to make bullpen pitchers always warm

In simming, warming relievers is not necessary unless youre in MOM.
If your warm up is ON, youll have to warm them in the pen and then are given the option of an 8 pitch warm up.

With warm up OFF, you dont need to do either

I was always under the impression it worked the way Hustlin described. The description is kind of ambiguous now that I read it. My understanding is that with it On, warming up in the bullpen will only make them reach, say, 75% warm at maximum, and the on-field warm-ups are required to make the pitcher fully warm.

I definitely want to see an answer from the devs though.

Thats not the case because you can over warm you bullpen pitcher and tire him out. Thats why they added the toss and stretch so you dont tire out your pen.

When the game says he's warm.... he's warm and ready to play, with or without 8 warm ups.
The 8 warm ups will take him to 100% but skipping the 8 will do the same.

So you can take someone straight off the bench and they will be warm? The setting description is ambiguous IMO.

With "Warm Up Pitchers" OFF... Yes, that is correct!

I am also pretty sure that having it set to OFF means the pitchers automatically come in warmed up. I play lots of games against my wife and I try to keep it as simple as possible for her as she likes the game but doesn't want to get into all the intricacies of it. So we play with bullpens OFF and after many, many games this way I can see no ill effects from bringing in relievers at any time.

I have it off and there is nothing that visually indicates they are warm.
