Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 2750393, member: 1969"] Teams were too slow to go to the bullpen in the past. Now they are too fast. The "eye test" has to be used a little bit more. And a big problem with the statistics is that relievers are much more tired in the post-season than the regular season due to overwork. So while relievers are much better statistically then a starter the 3rd and 4th time around a lineup, those relievers have not been pushed to the max when those statistics have been taken. Plus if a pitcher is on that night, why are you making decisions based on when he is just average. More judgment has to be made. [/QUOTE]
