Allow SP for Relief?

daves · 12-24-2020, 12:07 PM

Has anyone utilized allowing SP's as relievers. With my limited access I was considering this with a 6 man rotation. But wanting to know if anyone in the community had success doing so?

I've used a six man rotation before but it didn't go well (was early on), never tried starters in relief though. I'm going to give it a shot next week with my Corsairs after they get relegated back to silver (they suck horribly when they get up to gold, it's so bad it's laughable). Six man + start highest rested + starters in relief. It'll be interesting.

All set for next week. Went 67-95 in gold 327, better than expected but relegated as usual.

Someone on discord had an idea to bench starters under 95%. I am thinking about reducing my staff to 4 and have Emergency SP's pitch if all starters are too tired.

Interesting, hope you give it a go.

Six man rotation with always start highest rested has only given the sixth man 3 starts and no relief appearances through 103 games. Other starters have a total of 5 relief appearances. Going to leave it for the rest of this season but do it with strict/occasional highest rested next week though that might cause a bit of rotational chaos LOL.
