I have used the Middle Relief (primary) with Opener (secondary) and had it work in one-off situations where I knew he was 100% rested. My best guess is if that isn't working for you, probably means he was too tired from his relief duties to open that day. It would just be luck of the draw which days he had pitched previously...I'm guessing it's impossible to ensure he ALWAYS opens for SP4. You probably need more than one opener.
