I have never set pitch counts for RPs, and I doubt I ever will. For one thing, the 90% drop-off I mentioned doesn't occur with RPs (which is the primary reason I use pitch count control -- which I don't very much). One possible problem with pitch count control on RPs is running out of bullpen in a long game. The AI tends to stretch out RPs when the game gets past about 12 innings (probably too much so, but that issue will have to wait until OOTP11 ).

FWIW
