No, I’m still in mid-September, and my season runs through October 7. Believe me, I could understand resting a SP who has thrown 200 innings (or 150 in today’s terms), but then in that case start one of the young SP you brought up from AAA, who at least has a chance to go five or six innings, based on stamina. A lot of these odd starts are going to veteran RP who have never been SP. It’s amazing they don’t get hurt, throwing fifty or sixty pitches with low stamina. Even closer to the playoffs, starting these RP would be foolish, because it becomes a bullpen game, and you risk going into the post-season with a tired bunch of RP. I can’t figure out what the AI logic is here.
