I'll add one bit of detail: a pitcher loses effectiveness when he has thrown roughly 90% of the total pitches that cause him to be "Tired". By "loses effectiveness" I mean that his pitch velocity drops. It is possible that other factors such as movement and control are also affected, but one can only guess about that. Once a pitcher becomes tired, it does not take many more pitches for him to become exhausted. Each stage means that his effectiveness is being reduced.
