Six Man Rotations

[BIGBLUEFAN2023]

I really hope this gets incorporated into this year's game. While it probably won't end up this way, 8 teams project on Fangraphs to use a 6 man rotation. It would be nice to have the option and be able to set up pitching staffs to mirror MLB.

For that matter, multiple closer slots would be good, too, for the teams that go with a "closer by committee"

Agreed. It will be all teams sooner than later.

I really think we start seeing a shift to teams going a 6 man for the first couple months to stretch guys out before going to a 5.

I agree that alot more teams will be using 6 mans but i think what you mentioned is factually incorrect. More teams go 4 mans rotation early in the season due to the schedule having more built in off days at the beginning.

Yeah same would probably happen with 6-man rotations. When a guy is likely to not throw for 6 days (counting a day off), the 6th man will probably get skipped.

It is because they don't really know. It's a projection. Spring Training results and injuries will determine the 5-man.

Yeah I can't see them adding it, it's really impossible to do you can do things manually but it is a pain, and the CPU loves to use LR pitchers so chances are they will use the pitcher anyway before the 6th day. the only way is to manually move pitchers in and out of the 5 man slot and move them around. I wish the BP view showed fatigue too only in game we see that. would be handy for manually doing things like this
