When a pitcher comes out of the bullpen and is pitching well, why doesnt Mainieri stick with him? (im not talking about this game specifically but throughout the year and in years past.)



You will burn out your relievers like that. Pitchers are creatures of habit, and most relievers are trained to throw at around 3-4 batters (and they usually throw harder because of it).

So then the starters don't throw as hard because they know they will have to go more innings?
