I hoped my spot starter (Horn) would start in his place if not. Horn had been pressed into action pitching 1.2 IP in game 1. Because of "light" fatigue the match engine chose to start LR2 Santa Cruz instead. He had pitched in both game 1 and game 3. I appreciate its a bit tricky who to pick. If the human manager designates a spot starter that should be the priority even if he has a little fatigue. I'm quite happy if the SS is skipped on moderate or more fatigue.
