Do you pre-plan Floyd's exit?

No you pre plan his exit on whether he dealing or not

If he’s doing well let him go until he gets in trouble

(And not until he loads the bases to lead off an inning)

No but you definitely start warming up the pen in the 5th no matter what Floyd looks like. Ty has shown once he loses it it's hard for him to wrestle it back. So once he allows two on after the 5th inning you pull him

Should have someone in bull pen warming up towards end of the 5th or at start of the 6th just in case. He usually doesn’t make past the 6th. And when the wheels fall off for floyd they fall off.

Dont pre-determine exit, but also have someone ready in bullpen before bases get loaded

I think the benefit of telling him pregame that he's getting 15-18 batters (6 innings if he's perfect) is that he doesn't lose confidence in himself when the pen is warming up in the 4th or 5th.

He walks two in a row and he needs to come out

Once you get to the 5th with him you better have someone in the Pen that can get ready quick. He will meltdown. Its not if its when. He will get to that point where he gets into trouble and is not mentally strong enough to fight his way out of it. Same as it always has been. Anything more than 5 with him is a bonus.
