my job requires (unfortunately) that i use twitter, mobile apps, and what have you to promote sales. Companies these days, what ever happened to the phone sales in person!

@FurySK That sounds terrible... but that's coming from someone who has never had a twitter and still uses a sidekick as their cellphone.

@Fury, I had thought that they still have phone sales. Coming from someone young and hip, that might sound weird.

Now to get back on topic, I usually like to adjust hooks and pitch counts or relegate their roles for a while. Or if you want something better, put the poor relievers on a watch list and cut them when think it's enough.

Yeah maybe successful contribution from one pitcher will boost him for the next games.. Maybe same applies to Batters also?
So if u "ask too much" from player, they play bad, the form drops.

I had so few pitchers in my roster so couldnt really get rid of the worst ones...

While there are lots of things you can try to do to get guys out of a funk, I highly suspect none of these things actually matter to the sim engine. I also twiddle with the team, but I think praying to the baseball gods or some luck deity is actually probably the most effective action to take. And of course I believe that also has 0 impact in reality.

What do real teams do? If he has a high dollar contract, they probably just keep playing him (unless they can trade him). There isn't a lot to do about slumps.

True. But in real life even superstitious stuff can have a positive impact on psyche, which in turn can help end a slump.

I'm not sure the game AI is sophisticated enough to model player psyche. Steve can correct me if I'm wrong.

So in real life, team actually do sit the guy or send him down or fiddle with your batting order.

Well they do fiddle with stuff and shuffle lineups to minimal effect... but they won't really sit players that make too much money (aside from a day or two to rest) because of pressure to make him play for his pay.

What owner wants to hear they spent $20M a year on a benchwarmer?
