SP out of bullpen
-
Forgive me if someone has already wrote about this, but this is absolutely ridiculous. I’ve played 5 games in a row where people have brought starters out of their bullpen rather than relievers. It’s insanely annoying, and needs to be fixed. If you use all your bullpen arms then that’s a little different (just like in MLB, you use up your bullpen in extra innings then you can turn to your starters). There’s no reason a guy should get to bring in Chris sale in the 4th inning after I get on his starter. Don’t know if this happens to you guys a lot, but just wanted to get it out there because it’s extremely frustrating to have it happen 5 games in a row. Again, bringing starters out of the pen before putting my relievers in 5 games in a row.

honestly, it hurts them in the long run. I like the new starter stamina carry over and I also like that they are available to use in extra inning games, it's more realistic. I understand your gripe but I think he good outweighs the bad on this one. I also enjoy not facing the same pitcher 80% of the games in DD (Kershaw) like last year's game.

I agree it is a bit annoying. I get that everyone can do this but it’s a little ridiculous that I have to face Newhouser for 5 innings and then see 99 Kluber being brought into the game. I think there should be some sort of effectiveness penalty for starters being brought in as relievers.

I agree, the stamina carry over is nice. And it’s extremely nice to have the option in extra innings, I’m just saying there’s no reason after seeing Scherzer after 4 inning I should have to see 99 Kluber before i see a reliever. That’s bush league and would never happen in the league. But I agree it was very annoying facing that kershaw every game lol

Exactly, reduce their energy at least

Make it 6 games in a row, just happened again

Any time I’ve brought in a starter he gets shelled, their stuff is not as electric and don’t pitch from the stretch. To me it seems there is an effective penalty in place behind the scenes. I stopped doing it unless my pen is completely tapped. They should only be available is you have exhausted the entire pen
-
How does the stamina replenishment work? After they start a game in finding it to be 6 or so games until they have a full bar of stamina to go again.

I think it has to do with lack of affordable and effective relief options this early in the game. It is for me at least. At least in boy bringing in the knuckler
