I damn sure wouldn't set my pitch count over 140 no matter who I have going in the game. I'm sure someone has figured out what stamina for a pitcher is good for X number of pitches before he becomes too tired/ineffective but I set my max pitch count at 105 and that's for an 18 Stamina.

It would not matter what you set your pitch count at, starter keeps pitching if there are no hits given up. I like this feature. I wouldn't change it for the very rarest of circumstances, which is what these doomsday scenarios put forth are. Fact is, you never know what loss cost you promotion. It could be one from the first week of the season.

But it is good to know that a no hitter trumps pitch count. By the way, that was a pretty dominant performance by my guy. 89 pitches...

As relieved as I might be that I’m not going to have to face him, I really sorta wanted a crack at ’im to see how the lineup would do. Updated Sunday, April 2 2017 @ 3:32:03 pm PDT

Why would I pull a pitcher who's dominating the other team? No, I would absolutely stick with what works and I think real life MLB managers would do the same. He's on fire... in a zone... would you really sacrifice that and throw in someone fresh into the game that's only as warm as a few tosses he threw to the backup catcher in the pen? If he loses the no-hitter, then yeah... by all means go to the closer... but until he shows any sign of cracking, I'm sticking with him personally. This feature shouldn't change IMO. It works the way it should. I mean yes it would suck if it was 1-0 in your favor and he gave up a walk followed by a HR to lose the game... but the odds of that sequencing are ridiculously slim. It's far more likely he just gives up a regular hit of some sort instead.
