This isn't something I've imagined; I have the boxscores. Late in my 2021 Season, the AI began starting relievers, somewhat randomly, but consistently across teams and leagues, ignoring established rotations. And - to return to the thread - some of these guys pitched magnificent games, deep into games despite limited stamina. I could not trace this to tired or injured starters or other gaps in the rotations. It didn't start until September, as if the AI decided to give these guys a shot at starting. No, it wasn't limited (as you would expect) to long relievers, spot starters, or guys with decent stamina. A mystery to me.
