I have found that I just have to get to 'know' each of my pitchers and act before they get tired.

I've never had any tell me anything but 'I'm fine - please let me pitch' either. Then maybe, the very next pitch they throw, their status changes to tired.

I've also found that if you wait until the pitcher is tired, and then start warming up a reliever, it can sometimes be too late.

Thus, get to know em.

I think the 'mound visit' is an area where more varied communication would add to the 'realism' factor.
