Basically hook is described as: Hook: set a limit on the runners and runs a pitcher is allowed before he is pulled. Essentially, is compared to the number of earned & unearned runs a pitcher has given up, plus the number of base runners. The higher this value, the longer the manager will leave the pitcher in the game. Basically, the pitcher is replaced if either of the following conditions are true: 1. 2 * Earned Runs > Hook 2. Total Runs + Base Runners > Hook In the case you described, the first condition is met. 2 * 3 (earned runs) = 6 > 5. After looking at the description, I realize this mechanism isn’t particular clear. Will try to either clarify it in the game manual or change the implementation by next season. Thanks for the comments, Steve |
