When do you take a pitcher out ?
-
Still green bar , yellow bar , red bar or no bar ?
Whats your criteria .
I usually do it as soon as it turns yellow . -
It depends on the pitcher, their stamina, their pitching performance, the score, and what inning it is, whether I pull him or not? I usually pull most pitchers who are struggling or tiring before the bar turns red.

Back when I was a kid watching baseball on a cathode ray tube television, starting pitchers always finished the game. There is no need to take your SP out. Ever!
Of course, that isn't wise. I guess you can use the green/yellow mark like a pitch count, but you shouldn't let that get in the way of what the game situation calls for. I would take them out as soon as I can after it goes to yellow for most instances.
For a good laugh, below is a link to a Mariner's commercial about their starters and bullpen arms...

@dap1234567890_PSN that was pretty funny but they should have had the manager call the reliever to finish the job . Lol.

@jaychvz_XBL That would have been good. There is a Mariner's commercial from their coach's (Dan Wilson's) playing days...

BTW, we could use a Jaime Moyer and Dan Wilson cards in the game!

In franchise once a player gets to around 20% of stamina his attributes begin to decline and it gets progressively worse. That's when I start watching him closely. Of course that assumes he was pitching well. If he is pitching poorly then I remove him unless I need him to give me some innings due to a depleted bullpen.

I use a pitch count. I don’t let them go out if they’ve reached a certain number. With Ohtani it’s 70 and everyone else it’s 80. If an off day is coming up I’ll break the rule if they have a shutout going and aren’t way past that number with the everyone else but Ohtani.
