fakejacy Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I usually call a mound visit when there is a jam for my pitcher, but often get a negative result and it ruins his energy. Is there any good timing for a positive mound visit, or is the result always random? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoelessjoe19 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I found out good times are runners on first and second second and third sometimes just third If you just had someone to start to warm up, wait at least a batter or two before visiting. If you visit and the person warming up is halfway green after the visit he will be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I only do it when I'm trying to give the bullpen more time to warm up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I use mound visits to warm up my pitchers plus when someone gives up a home run or is clearly giving up multiple runs (defined as 2+)...for me it is a tossup either the pitcher feels positive , negative , or "none" , if he feels negative I just keep throwing with him until the other pitcher is ready in the bullpen then substitute as soon as possible , but basically the computer randomly selects reaction as far as i'm concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidewinder Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Also, I have found that certain pitchers will have a tendency to be one way or the other. Bartolo Colon likes to be left alone because he is always negative. FYI you will always lose stamina when your pitcher is negative and will gain it if it is a positive visit.

MarkB Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 As soon as he hits the mound at the start of a half-inning. Weird, but I've found this works quite well, resulting in a positive reaction about 70% of the time. I guess the manager doesn't talk to him during the half-inning break.

Or maybe they were having a feel good conversation and the manager goes out and continues the conversation, which makes him happy to be out there. I only use mound visits when I need a substitution quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
