For instance, if i see a starting pitcher whos fatigue bar has 8 or 9 out of 10 boxes filled up and i start him, will he stink at that level? Obviously its best to start a pitcher with full rest, but im wondering about extenuating circumstances, like trying to squeeze in your best pitcher in the playoffs for a must win start? Or maybe because of injuries?

Its gradual over the course of the game. So everyone has their own opinions of when to pull a guy. I give my starters relatively low pitch counts, especially guys who aren't great. The better they are, the longer they can pitch at a high level.
