Relief Pitchers as Starting Pitchers


Relief Pitchers as Starting Pitchers

Top 3 teams in my baseball league have 3 relief pitchers in as starting pitchers. Seems like a way to game the system. How is this done?

Re: Relief Pitchers as Starting Pitcher

If a player is a starter with less than 100 IP they default as a reliever but you can "change role" to SP. It has mixed results as they only have 40 Stamina so they only pitch around 3 innings and you have to burn through other relievers to get through each game.

Thanks for the response.

If you are talking about All-Time Greats Black Players Dynasty League, it's only using 4 man rotations.

I've never heard of this - is this really a thing? Can you show me a league where this is done?

Re: Relief Pitchers as Starting Pit

This league hasn't started yet but this owner is going with 2 and as you said his pen will be taxed https://www.pennantchase.com/lgRost..

Re: Re: Relief Pitchers as Starting Pit

oh maybe it's a rule specific to favorite teams? Or auto-leagues - I guess I don't know much about those anymore.

Re: Relief Pitchers as Starting Pit

yeah, check out this lineup, they are in first place. i just started a team in a new league copying that type of pitching staff to see if it works for me, because using 5 dominant starters like the dodgers doesn't seem to work, they get crushed. its annoying to see kershaw and koufax get bombed or the tiant and kluber duo get bombed while these other teams use 3 openers and lead the league in era, lol
