I think coaches look at players as filling a certain role. If a middle or setup guy is doing well for 2 innings the coach is not going to bump his closer (or the next role up) just because he has done well for 2 innings.

i get that each player has a role but thats what im asking about.

what advantage does this give us? it just seems that often times, we take out a Bugg or Person or Cartwright or whoever that is pitching well and bring in the next role player only to see him struggle. also it means that our best bullpen guys really arent available on sunday because we pitched them both saturday and sunday.
