Pitch count way too high for me with quick count

[MizzouRah]

When I use QC, I just ignore the pitch count total and have a nice variety of my SPs going 5, 6, 7 and occasionally 8 innings.

In today's baseball, at least with the Cardinals whom I watch daily, it's rare a SP goes past 5 innings. (unless it's Sonny Gray and he's even been on a pitch count post injury)

For some weird reason, it seems like the AI bullpen management is better with QC on. I usually see the CPU go through 3-5 pitchers.

Did SDS ever give us an explanation what the reasoning behind this change was? I believe nobody is a fan of how the quick counts work since last year..?

Are you saying if a pitcher is at, e.g., 100 pitches after 5 innings you can continue thru the 6,7, 8 innings? His stamina bar isn’t drained?

I've been using SP stamina at 7 for me and 9 for cpu and it is perfect for QC. Just have to ignore pitch count totals. Hopefully they revert it the way it was.

Pitch count used to -1 after each batter, reducing the count to realistic levels.

Speaking of, I just had a complete game with Kyle Gibson 3-1 over Phillies only giving up 2 hits and 131 pitches. It said he was tired only in 9th inning.

Wow….then it is sorely in need of repair. How does it go from working correctly 2 years ago to FUBAR the last two years?

i never used quick count does it bring something else to the game then being able to play quick
