Not here.. I don't bring a starter out of the pen unless I've exhausted all relief options in extra innings, I'm not about that. I watched a top player use all 5 of his starters last night in a game I just shook my head.

If I get down to 2-3 relievers I may use a starter. Not a whole lot of faith in my pen tbh

My pen is pretty terrible. I don't have a lot of options but I use them first mostly. If I get into a extended game where we are hitting like 14 innings and I've used a good number of relievers, I'll bring in my 4th/5th starter for sure.

Although with the 3 inning rule, you go through relievers much slower this year

Started Maddux in an RS game last night. Cruising thru 5 until he was forced out after taking a Mookie Betts perf/perf comebacker off the nose. Brought in Kluber to finish the 1-0 shutout dub (thanks Trout!). Only chose him over Hal cuz my opponent started Kloobs and was killing me lol. Typically, tho, I'd play it straight and go to the pen.
