One thing I notice is relievers rack up close to 100 innings per season (162 game schedule) in this version (compared to ootp 9). I think it's because of the new pitching model. Many MR are SP converted, so they have high stamina. Natural closers have low stamina though. In ootp 9 relievers had low stamina and thus pitched a realistic number of innings. Thus I think MR pitch too long of spells.

I'm considering bumping up the SP endurance modifier. This way starters will pitch longer outings, setting up the traditional setup man in 8th, closer in 9th. This might solve your problem, but I'm not sure. You could also try lowering the general pitcher endurance to "very low".
