Pulling a starter early

Posted By Fred C

If you are referring to Condrey's second start, after 7 batters he'd have been at 3 BFA again, which was when he was pulled the last time. Don't know if that triggered something in the robot to say he needed to be pulled in order to be available at another time?

Since he only has a 2 recovery rate (3.5 after a start) and the robot knows it is five man rotation given the Manager settings, it might be trying to get him to 17 BFA by his next start.

Maybe this could be incorporated in the selection algorithm - will the selected starter be able to go 4 innings most likely before the robot pulls him so he can be ready next time? If not, picke the more rested starter even if he is a "worse" pitcher.
