Cant remember what this controls:

Does it speed up/slow down when the bull pen comes in for the starter

Or

Does it have nothing to do with taking the starter out and only controls when one RP comes in for another RP

Or

Does it control when the bullpen comes in at anytime (for a SP or RP that is)

Thanks

My experiences is Aggressive is RP in earlier and often. Convervative is less so. Depending on the quality of SP and RP it can make a difference. If I use aggressive it means I have excellent and deep relievers and not so great starters. I normally start the season at conservative and move to normal or aggressive depending on the team

I always put mine bullpen at conservative...I usually have RPs who are heavily balanced one way and I want them used more for situational relief rather than just in general. General relief I only want my closer for that so I put that at aggressive. I have, in my mind, what I consider to be great success at maximizing the 750K RPs that way
