Pitcher Durability

Hey all, I was looking in the rules and stumbled upon something very interesting. I've always know this existed, but never specifically found it. Sometimes while doing recaps we'll notice that (insert random SP) was pulled after only 80 pitchers or whatever. Turns out there is a chart that defines what those pitch count numbers will look like. And these aren't a hard rule, the computer GM can and will go above and beyond. But this is a good guideline for when fatigue will set in.

I just thought it was interesting and wanted to share!
