Ha, waving the white flag early for sure.
Unlike today where teams have 13 or so pitchers on the active roster, I wonder if this happened more frequently back in the day. Managers with tired bullpens would rather concede a loss that is out of hand in the fifth, knowing that they have games over the next several days and will need arms.
In the sims I have been playing using the 70s and 80s players, anecdotally the AI managers tend to run their 5-man bullpens into the ground.
