I just had a pretty disappointing encounter in ranked...

I’m confused... so you were okay with him bringing in a position player (non-bullpen arm) but were not okay with him bringing in a starter (non bullpen arm). Don’t really see the gripe, if he wanted to preserve his bullpen for a possible more stressful game after thats his choice and there’s nothing wrong with it. I probably would’ve brought in my 5th started as well. You rarely use the 5th starter and a blowout seems like the right time to bring him in.

OP is right
it is a WEAK move by the opponent
it shows the opponent has no confidence in his bullpen, has no confidence in his role of the RP situation
It’s 19-1... I don’t think confidence is an issue
-
How didn’t you get mercy’d?
-
Speaking of disappointment, how does one stop the bunt squeeze nonsense? Or is this just another fail on SDS’s part? I picked him off numerous times but the hitting is so bad when you play without a monitor. I’m starting to think this game is just a cheesefest like madden and 2k

yeah its definitely a lack of confidence in his BP - and 19-1 means nothing if you sit in the lower ranks he's got hardly any games in

All could be resolved if they fixed stamina

What if he literally just didn’t want to blow a bullpen arm on a game that was already over? This wasn’t even a competitive game so I don’t see why complain on something that would’ve done zero to change the end result

I disagree man, I would do the same thing, I need my bullpen for competitive games, not blowouts and especially if my bullpen was tired I would do this so they could regain stamina to be used in a game where it would actually matter

I can't believe you're complaining about your opponent using a starter when you're down 18 runs. I mean, if my opponent doesn't quit at that point, I will 100% use my 5th starter to save my bullpen's stamina for another game.
-
Your story doesnt really add up bc you would have been mercy ruled. That being said I use my 5th starter as my long guy, really plus or really minus guy bc you want to have your bullpen available for the next game that may matter.

Apparently it was like 9-1 and the guy went off for 10 in the top of the 7th and mercy doesn't take effect until the home team gets last bats

Yeah, you guys are probably right. I more or less made this post from pent-up anger after seeing Hal come out of my opponents’ pens so much. But I guess the move made sense in this case.

Bullpen arms don't bounce back like starter's arms do. SDS's fault, not your opponents. Stamina needs to be reconfigured

I'm just confused how the game wasn't called due to the mercy rule.
same here. same here. This is the biggest mystery. We must get to the bottom of it.

I almost exclusively use Hal as a blowout sponge.

All you have to do is read. It's already been explained. Here's a copy of the game summary:
The guy with 19 runs was the visiting team and was winning 9-1 after 6 innings. Going into the top of the 7th, he scored 10 more runs, so now 19-1.
The guy with 1 run was the home team and even though he's losing by more than 10 runs, he still gets his last-at-bats for the opportunity to prevent mercy rule. In this case, he had to score 9 runs in the bottom of the 7th to take it to the 8th, but couldn't; so therefore, mercy rule called after 7 innings.
