I want to use a six man rotation for spring training and maybe even the regular season, but I'm not sure how to do it. If I set it to 6-man rotation, does that mean my Spot Starter will be the SP6? Because there is no option for SP6.


Also how do I turn an LHS into a lefty specialist?
Edit: never mind figured specialist out. Still unsure about rotation though.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's exactly how it works. Your SS pitches every other turn around the rotation in 4 1/5 man, and every turn in 6-man.

Yep. I've never used a 4 1/2 man, but that sounds right. I know that is how it works for 6 man. Good idea to go 6 man in spring training.

I saw this post and decided to try the six-man rotation, setting up five SP and a SS.

Today the sim completely ignored my SS, Trent McBride, and decided to start an unassigned 28-year-old Bob Brady as the sixth starter. Booooo. I don't think the theory of pitching the SS as the sixth pitcher works, at least by looking at this case. I would have preferred McBride pitch.

The only thing I can think of is the system thought McBride already was more or less at the average SI for 13 POT and decided to throw Brady, who isn't (even though Brady hasn't gained an SI for three seasons). My purpose for wanting McBride: he's only been a reliever; I wanted to see some SP data.

I use the 6 man rotation in Spring Training. The SS goes in every time - he is a 6th starter.

I suspect your SS didn't go in was because he was fatigued.
The only time my SS didn't go in was due to fatigue.
It looks like that could be your issue as well.

Quick correction on the 4.5 man rotation.

It's SP5, not SS, that gets used every second trip through the rotation:
SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4 ->
SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4, SP5 (repeat)

SS only becomes a regular starter in the 6 man rotation, and is an injury fill in for 4, 4.5, and 5.
