I think this is a huge problem. The AI entering a game with 6 exhausted relievers and 1 rested one is basically just forfeiting. And it compounds, as if the games are somewhat close a couple, either everyone will pitch a bit (leaving them all exhausted again the next day), or a couple relievers will be completely hung out to dry and be unavailable for 2-3 days afterwards.
There's also the issue of what's happening to get the AI in these situations, as managing my bullpen myself I never get to the point of everyone being exhausted, but most importantly the AI needs to rotate relievers up and down from Triple-A when the run into this problem.
Another issue is that reliever stamina changed a while back so that if a SP who's normal turn would be tomorrow (ie. If they pitched today they'd be on 3 days rest, instead of a full 4) is set as a RP he will be listed as exhausted. This both prevents the next day's starter from soaking up innings if needed and, if the Triple-A bullpen has been heavily taxed too, leaves only 1 Triple-A SP rested to come up and help the bullpen on any given day.
