You need a deeper bullpen than before, the under a million reliever is dead, 1-2 million relievers should be tilted towards one side (but not a total dumpster fire against the other side in case Hal decides to pitch them for a while), need a couple of 3 million guys that can get both sides out (2-3 million guys are dicey, too expensive to go against one side, not good enough for both sides but I get them anyway based on park fit or prayer).

With guys being much more unavailable and only two roles...Hal will find your worst reliever and use them. And for longer than you like sometimes. At least you hope that when he uses your righty specialist (which I dont think I would tag as one), it will be in a good situation for them. Right now, most every team is using a much higher percentage of their bullpen innings with cheaper guys than before and theyre getting clobbered.. So I say...get rid of the cheap guys! Only 5 relievers (if you have an extra starter or 2--if you have a * pitching staff--make sure they only start and dont relieve.) and they all need to be decent. Thats my thought--I havent exactly carried out this plan though I have been adding more depth as the season goes along. You just cant stash that .5 reliever anymore at the end of the bench...

Before you could get 300 innings easy.
Strahmn had 380 innings once for me last year. Maybe it's not a fix...but a significant improvement

Although , maybe that was more of a one-year problem in 20xx. I am not sure there were normally good R3s around to be used. But there were in ATG.
