Starters as relievers

People saying this is a part of Baseball smh. Only times another starter is used is: 1. They used a opener. 2. The starter got hurt or getting blasted early in game. Even then it's still very rare.
It's mostly used in the playoffs not every game.
Starters out the pen should lose 2x energy a reliever would and take longer to recover. Or you shouldn't be able to use a starter out the pen till all of your relievers are used. -
I woke up early this morning and since it's memorial day coming up, I wanted to get a good cheese and wine platter delivered.
I started googling and this thread popped up. Had to stop by and see what the big deal is.
Pro Tip- git gud. Who cares about who your opponent brings in. The object is to win the game. If you aren't concerned about winning, then there's nothing to see here as this topic doesn't apply to you.
Now apple and Gouda go well with a Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Back to work.

I can do this AAAAALLLLLLLL DDDDDAAAAYYYYY!
So all of you Tackleberry apologists can keep bringing it. I got enough for all y’all.
Lol is this guy still talking? Jeez, he just can’t let it die can he? Time to grow up dude and just leave things be. Nobody cares anymore what you or me have to say about this topic. Although I do like your Police Academy reference, I’m far from the man that Tackleberry was. He was a true marksman with the .44 Magnum. I just carry a glock
You talk about being able to give opinions...but the second somebody disagrees with yours, you become the keyboard warrior. Well yes I gave my opinion on your post and said I thought it was dumb. But I was talking about YOUR OPINION! I never once insulted you as a person or the integrity of your character. I disagreed with your opinion and said it was dumb. Yet you then immediately started to insult me as a person, my job, and my character. We all know that little kids these days can’t stand when somebody disagrees with them and then feel the need to lash out, but it’s ok if somebody disagrees with you dude. You don’t have to immediately start to call them names or insult their job, or their way of life.
Why don’t you just grow up and be a man and try to have a civilized conversation instead of being so quick to hate on somebody?

That being said, I wish a mod would just delete this thread now because I feel that it has completely turned into one of insults and epeen measurements and has lost its purpose. Sorry for the double post, was meant to be an edit

You belittled me. You know you did. And now you’re trying to pretend to be enlightened. You started it, and I finished it. That’s what dads do to their sons. They teach them lessons.
So next time you make a post giving your opinion, and someone comments and gives an opposing one, just say, “Thanks for contributing to the conversation.”
But if you talk out the side of your mouth to people, they might just do it back to you. When that happens, either apologize or bow out gracefully. Don’t try to manipulate everybody into believing you’re all innocent and mature in all this.
You’re the guilty one here.

Why don’t answer Will’s post, Office Glock? He gave some pretty compelling arguments as to why the system is not an exploit, and why it works the way it is.

A lot of you say you aren’t against SPs out the pen on principle, because it does happen occasionally “irl.” But that there should be a “penalty” or “consequence” to using a starter out of the pen, why? You all say, the starters should lose twice the energy if they come out the pen? That doesn’t make any sense.
What about the reverse: if I use my closer as an opener, should he lose stamina twice as slow?
The players have stamina and durability attributes for a reason. They shouldn’t be magically altered because you don’t like your opponent’s strategy.

I never belittled you personally at all until you started to personally attack me. Now all you can do is make fun of the fact that I am a police officer and try to help people on a daily basis. I disagreed with opinion and you got butthurt and then went off the deep end with insults about my integrity and character. Dude you need to relax and just learn to let things go. You’re really looking like a little cry baby right now. I have asked politely for this thread to end and you just can’t let it die. I wish you all the best and strongly suggest maybe some Zoloft to calm down. Feel free to keep insulting me on here tho keyboard warrior People can clearly see the type of person that you are and all you’re doing is validating my points about you each time you open your mouth

Let’s be real here. You belittled me. You said you didn’t do it personally, but there is no such thing as an impersonal belittling.
You keep saying I’m being tough behind a keyboard. But who tried to flex and prove how tough they were by bringing up their profession? Who started talking about the “real world” chewing someone up or something along those lines? Who started talking about carrying a Glock?
You were the instigator of all this, and you have been doing exactly what you accuse me of doing—you’re trying to be tough behind your keyboard.
Now, I salute your choice of profession. Truly. You serve your community daily. That’s admirable. I won’t share what I do for a living because it’s no one’s business. But let’s just say you aren’t the only public servant on this thread.
But just because you’re a public servant doesn’t automatically grant you altruistic vision like you’re trying to portray here. People admire police officers, so some people are rallying to your defense. But you aren’t infallible because of it.
Now, as soon as you stop with your fake psychoanalysis, and stop trying to take your fake little high road (which you aren’t really on. You are just saying that you’re on the high road), and admit to your role in this whole thing, then I’ll stop.
Until then, I’m on your helmet, Tackleberry.

Lol without proper context this could change the entire direction of this thread

I only brought up a Glock because you keep calling me Tackleberry, who uses a .44 Magnum. The only reason I brought up my profession was after you started calling me soft. I have only brought things up after your baseless insults to me about my character, integrity, and profession. Why don’t you go back and read the thread. You’ll notice every single time that I only counter your insults. The simple fact that you can’t grasp the concept that I never belittled you at all is dumbfounding. Maybe you’re a little too sensitive? I didn’t realize that disagreeing with somebody meant you belittled them. Explain how I belittled you and help me try to understand your way of thinking, because nowhere in the beginning of this thread did I ever come at you personally

Show me the MLB rule that prevents a manager from using the ball players on his team in any way he sees fit?
[censored] crybaby. Can’t hit so you wanna make SDS create some rules to make it easier for you....
Ill reference this post from the very first page that you said to me...unprovoked cursing and name calling and insults right from the start with your very first response on this entire thread. Sounds like you’re the bad guy here buddy...sorry to burst your bubble

There is nothing wrong with starters out of the pen.
This is Ranked Seasons. People are trying to win stubs, XP, and card rewards. They should have their entire 25-man roster available to them in anyway they see fit.
There are no rules in MLB that prevent a manager from using a player however they want. Position player as pitcher? Why not? A pitcher used as a pinch hitter or pinch runner? Go for it. Whatever you think will help you win the game. SDS did the correct thing by allowing us to do this.
What difference does it make if your opponent uses a SP out of the pen? Your job at the plate is to get hits. Period. Starter, Relief, Closer—it makes no difference. Do your job.
But I will say that if SDS wanted to reduce the usage of SPs out of the pen, they have to release better relievers. I think Rollie is the only reliever over 90. At least he’s all I can think of at the moment.
Lol this is the worst post I’ve read in a long time. Let me know the next time you see a MLB team throw any starter in back to back games just to win
-
Taking things out of context is called lying. You ignited this whole thing with this, saying it’s the “worst post you’ve read in a while,” bashing his opinion.” This was BEFORE any “attack” by him
-
You haven’t brought up any point about the argument at hand, you’ve let a person using sarcasm who could be 3000 miles away from you get into your head and change your mindset.

How about disparage? Is that a more apt description? Yes. You disparaged me.
I made my very post on this thread and you responded with, “Lol. This is the worst...”
And as for unprovoked cussing, I typed “dang” (well, not “dang” but you know what I mean). I didn’t know that was a word that needed to be censored.
I’m really not sensitive. I’m just clapping back. Either you can take it as you dish it or you should get off the Internet.
-
Lol I’m taking it just fine. You haven’t upset me in any way at all. You just have resorted to constant childish insults instead of trying to change my opinion because I disagreed with you. I am a very understanding person and have agreed/upvoted several comments on this thread. Yet you still resort to insults and childish drama...sounds like you were born for the internet and never get off it
-
Again, I ask a moderator to remove this thread because it has gotten completely off topic and has now become nothing but senseless drama
