Suggestion: The ability to give relievers specific instructions while in the bullpen when they are warming up. We should be able to have them either "stretch out" (low, takes longer to be "ready"), "warm up" (regular/as it is now) or "get ready quickly" (high, reliever will be ready more quickly).

A "call" from the bullpen in the form of a note in the play-by-play or from the bench coach when a pitcher is ready is a co-suggestion.


Reason: This is how it's done in real life and I think it would really add some extra strategy elements, especially if there are consequences (like tiring more quickly or being a higher injury risk if you have the same reliever "getting ready quickly" too many times in succession, etc.).


Priority: HIGH
