OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - I've gone over to the dark side -- when it comes to the bullpen

After about seasons, I've put together a fairly competitive PT squad.
Finished over .500 for the past five seasons, all in the bronze league, and made the playoffs in three of them.
The one thing I've noticed, is in each the postseasons I've lost to a team that has a bullpen stacked with top of the line starting pitchers.
Think guys like Scherzer, Strasburg, Randy Johnson, etc.
Well tired of trying to beat them, I think I am a combined 2-12 in those four-game series, I've joined them adding Mike Mussina and Ted Lyons to my relief corps.
I've also been promoted to a Silver League
I don't like it, something seems wrong about having a bullpen stacked with ace level starting pitchers, but sometimes you have to do what is necessary to compete for championship.
Am I the only one who decided to do this?
