The one difference is that it you have a closer, he will come in for close situations automatically, whereas a setup man or other reliever comes in based on the pitch count/hook of the current pitcher.

curtisp5286 Joined: 08/25/2012 Posts: 95 Inactive | I'm not really understanding the question. Are you asking under what scenarios will the game engine have to closer enter the game? | ||

curtisp5286 Joined: 08/25/2012 Posts: 95 Inactive | That is not actually true. If he pitches a whole inning with his team leading by 3 runs or less then it does not matter if the tying run got to the on deck circle or not. Here are the qualifications for a save according to the MLB rulebook. 1)He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his team; 2)He is not the winning pitcher; 3)He is credited with at least ⅓ of an inning pitched; and 4)He satisfies one of the following conditions: a)He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning b)He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, at bat or on deck c)He pitches for at least three innings |

He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning (he'll pitch the 9th inning in this case) 2. He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, at bat or on deck (he count enter as earlier as the 7th inning [depending on mgmt settings] in this case) Steve |
