25 is sort of a “fudge factor” that accounts for things like pitching in games on the road where you may never get a chance to pitch the bottom of the 9th if your team loses. If you are using players from an era before game logs are available, use the following formula instead:įatigue = Ceiling(.25 + (IP / (GS + (GR / 2)))) Sure, there are Grade Advancement and Grade Reduction rules you could play with, but they don’t kick in all that often, especially for an A pitcher.Įach pitcher is rated for throwing a certain number of innings before fatigue sets in.įor starting pitchers, you calculate this number by finding their statistics ( in their starts only – use BaseballReference, Fangraphs or whatever…) and use the following formula:

Let’s face it, there’s no reason why a team with an A starting pitcher should ever remove them from a game, especially if nobody in their bullpen is better than an A. We’ve been trying to lay down some simple, home-brewed rules for the tournament. (He’s the one who first introduced me to APBA when I was a tyke, so this obsession is sort of his fault.) If when you register you are told that no more rooms are available at the APBA rate, send an email to We will work with the hotel to get more rooms.I’m soon going to be embarking on a project full of all-time great teams, played out between my older brother and myself. We have added ten more king rooms for the convention. Predictions for season totals? Over under 15.5? Is this the year of turnover in the AL? Cleveland is only 2016 division winner leading its division this year. But was it Judge not Sanchez? Keuchel has five wins. I'm sure some had a Yankee rookie with 10 home runs. Who saw Ryan Zimmerman leading the NL in the triple crown categories at the end of April? Colorado and Arizona contending for the NL West lead with San Francisco at the bottom. Seems there is more parity in hockey than basketball. Unlike hockey, no big upsets in basketball. Basketball has also gotten to the conference semi-finals. How seriously is Crosby hurt? Will he return at all this season? Hockey playoffs continue with the conference semi-finals.
