Relief pitching roles for SP/RP pitchers
Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2022 1:30 pm
I have a strong starting rotation of all S6/R3 and S7/R3 starters, but a really crappy bullpen of RP-only pitchers.
What are the implications of specifying those starters in reliever roles, such as middle/setup/etc. How does using a starter in a relief role affect his POW rating? Does HAL ensure eg that a pitcher is not scheduled to start tomorrow's game (or the game after that) before bringing him in for a relief role? I certainly would hate to see my SP start the game as FO because he just pitch in relief the prior game , and likewise would hate to see him come on in a relief role as an F0 because he just threw a 8 innings as a starter yesterday.
Perhaps there is a description of the dual-use of a pitcher as an SP and RP somewhere that someone can refer me to ?
Thanks !
