Most of those IRL pitched during blowouts but in my MLB league many pitched in close games due to an exhausted bullpen not a blowout.
This is one of those things I'd like to see the AI do better at. Real life, there would be a AAA callup of a RP for an exhausted bullpen. A team may sit with an 8 man pen for a couple games because of it. It would be useful for simming longer periods, if we got a notification that would stop the sim on an exhausted bullpen, so we could do the shuffle to call up a rested player. Even better if we could designate players that would be called up and other players to be sent down. Perhaps a checkbox in player strategy 'promote/demote for exhausted bullpen'.
