Closer Rule:
The Closer Rule Adapted from Strato Rule 28.0 for the Needs
of the ETTTBBL.
Closer ratings range from 0-6, with 6 being the the big league's most
frequent and successful closers. If a relief pitcher is rated N for closer
endurance, he should not be used as a closer.
Closer endurance is the duration,measured in number of batters, a
pitcher can maintain his effectiveness in closer situation, In SOM, a
closer situation is defined differently than big league save opportunity.
Your pitcher will be in a closer situation whenever you have the lead in the
9th inning or later and the tying run is on base or at bat.
A pitcher may enter a game in a closer situation or a game he already
has entered may suddenly become a closer situation. Here are some rules to
govern both possibilites.:
The closer rule does not affect the starting pitchers
Each reliever enters a game using either his closer endurance (if
the game is already a closer situation) or his regular point of weakness
rating (if the game is not currently a closer situation)
If the pitcher begins his appearance with his regular POW and the
game becomes a closer situation, he changes to his closer endurance rating.
At that time, reduce his closer endurance by the number of batters he has
already faced. This number cannot be reduced to lower than 0, unless the
pitcher's endurance is N.
Once a pitcher begins to use his closer rating, that is his
endurance for the remainder of his appearance, even if the score changes and
the game no longer is a closer situation.
Example: A reliever enters the game in the bottom of the 9th inning
with a 3-2 lead- a closer situation. The opposing team ties the score in
the bottom of the 9th. In the top of the 10th, the pitcher's team scores 4
times. If the same pitcher remains in the game for the bottom of the 10th,
he is still using his closer endurance rating to determine when he becomes
fatigued.
The closer endurance rating is the number of batters the pitcher
can face before becoming fatigued. Once this number is reached, reducing
his endurance rating to 0, he becomes fatigued as soon as he allows a hit, walk
or
hpb. (INT.Walks do not count against this).
Example: A pitcher with a closer endurance rating of 0 will become
fatigued as soon as he surrenders a hit , walk or hbp, while a pitcher with
closer endurance rating of 6 can pitch to 6 hitters without risking fatigue.
Any pitcher with a closer endurance of N is immediately considered
fatigued with the first batter he faces in a closing situation.
As with regular POW, once a reliever becomes fatigued under the
terms of the closer rule, out readings followed by dots become SINGLE**.
Fatigue Factor
-
takes
effect in or after indicated fatigue inning if a combination of: a) 3 walks
and/or hits allowed in 1 inning or b) 4 walks and/or hits allowed in 2
consecutive innings or as stated in #9 Middle Mmen or #6 Stopers
-
If any starter faces 10 or more
batters in one single inning past the third, he becomes fatigued
-
this would take effect on any subsequent
batters and the resulting play would be a single with 2 base advance
-
intentional walks do not contribute to
fatigue but HBPs do
-
once fatigued, a pitcher remains fatigued
for the remainder of the game
