SP coming in as relievers ??
-
I guess the Cubs should have to forfeit their 2016 World Series title because they used a starter (Jon Lester) in relief in game 7 and the Indians cheated in that game by bringing Trevor Bauer in relief. How did the umpires and the MLB Commissioner’s office missed this blatant cheating?

This guy is trolling lol. It takes 2 seconds to Google it and see MLB teams do it all the time, so clearly not illegal. Don't feed the trolls guys.

I honestly am leaning more towards him being a moron over trolling.

What about Bumgarner? It’s been done a lot.

But he played "college" baseball. He obviously is an expert on all things baseball.

Clown college maybe

obviously
Totally not true. I distinctly remember Bumgarner coming in as a relief pitcher in either the clinching game of the '12 or '14 World Series. And Jon Lester did the same in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series. It doesn't happen in the regular season because you don't want to mess up your rotation in 1 game when a season is 162. But in high leverage postseason games you see it more often. It is not against the rules.

He claims to have played in college. Anybody who played ball or is even a casual fan of baseball would know it's not illegal. There's no way it's not a troll job. The moronic level is too astronomical for it to be genuine.

He may be right about college ball. Everything is probably very safe now a days with required time off. Probably not. But possible. Yes, I have seen starters come in as relievers mlb.

I think everyone misunderstood him. He probably meant he played MVP 06 NCAA Baseball for Xbox 360 once at a frat house, and thus knows everything there is to know about Major League Baseball.

Ultra cheese!

Unfortunately the OP has ripped off his jersey Antonio Brown style and is skipping through the end zone with indignant, sophomoric rage as he realizes he's made up an argument and a bunch of intelligent baseball fans showed him the error of his ways. OP is no longer a Buc....I mean, no longer in this thread.
Oh yeah, and there's a drive by Castellanos and it's gonna go for a Home run.

Dude.. I played college baseball. It is illegal to bring in a SP for a reliever.
Unless you played college ball in 1915 you are lying. Have you not watched the MLB playoffs any of the last 15 years? SP are brought in fairly often in the playoffs.

Where did you go to college? Lol ask the 2014 Royals If they weren’t shut down by a starter in relief during the 7th game of the World Series
Heck, the NATIONALS won their WS title almost on SP alone, both starting games and from the pen.

There's no point. He can't hear you. He's probably in the next county by now, preaching about how defensive players have to play in the exact same spot for every hitter.

Funny thread.
I often bring a starter out of the pen if a game goes to extra innings. I might bring a starter out if the pen if I get rocked in the third or fourth inning too.
So what?
Is it worse than facing P5 DeGrom every game?

It’s simply illegal in the game of baseball. That’s why they don’t do it in the MLB. Haha you obviously don’t know anything. Nvm I rest my case
Show me here where it states that it is illegal?

Every PS is like that. Charlie Morton shutting down the Dodgers game 7 to clinch it in 17
