The game will not handle the RL Tampa situation well. If a pitcher starts a game he is treated internally as a SP(able to throw more pitches with a bit less stuff). If a pitcher comes in in relief, even after only 1 or 2 batters, he will be treated internally as a reliever(fewer pitches & better stuff).
