I understand that a RP in the 7th inning throws harder than a SP who started the game. But we are missing the point that if a SP gets injured or ejected in the second inning, the Long Reliever has to be "intelligent enough" to know that he will be needed 3-4 innings, and will need to stretch out his stamina. As the game stands now, he gives it his all with every pitch.
