The pitching screen is listing options of 3 or 4 man starting rotations? I hope this is a typo... Tim

3-Man rotation is good for the postseason if you don't have a quality 4th and 5th starter like the AZ Diamondbacks going with Schilling, Johnson, and Batista.

Check this out. It should explain what is going on for you. It is the Help page - accessable from the Pitching screen.

Not the following excerpt:
In the playoffs, the rotation length is automatically shortened by one pitcher. We recommend checking the pitching screen at the beginning of the playoffs to make sure your rotation is properly set.

Well, in my pitching screen there is only the option for a 3 or4 man rotation. How come there is not an option for a 5 man rotation? A bug?

Are you between seasons? The game shows the reduced pitching rotations during the entire offseason.

If this is during the FA draft, or post season, you need to make make your selection one less than what you want for the regular season.

For example, if you want a strict man rotation, makeit a strict 4 man rotation. After April 1, the game will bump everything up one level. Your "Strict 4 Man" will become a "Strict 5 man."

Confusing, yes.
