Openers
-
I can see using them for BR as there is a mixture of different levels of pitchers; but what advantage, other than to be like the 'cool' kids, is there to using one in an Event that only allows Common pitchers?
-
Wouldn't any pitcher you use in an event be considered an opener?
-
They’re probably only pitching one inning in an event anyway so who cares who starts the game if they’re all pitching the same amount?
-
Relievers typically have higher H/9 ratings
-
Some relievers have better pitch mixes than the available starters they may have
Jose marte…Wade Leblanc, couple examples right there
-
So many good relievers to choose from with different pitch selection. Who really wants to go up against Kenley Jansens cutter, or Romos slider?
-
Use openers in ranked because you can save your good pitching for better opponents.
