I have a post called “Type of bullpen pitchers” started on 6-16-19 in this forum that includes a post explaining this. Not sure how to copy it from my phone.

1. Set your openers to whatever role they want(I suggest middle or long relief) and have their second role as opener.
2. Pull your SP to the "bullpen" area, and have their second role set up as follower. Then put them back into the SP slots.
3. Adjust your opener slider in global strategy tab(all the way to the right if you want to use opener every game)
4. ???
5. Profit.

I have tried OP/FO for two weeks, the default length for OP is 1-2 innings, so you don't have to tinker too much on other settings to let them pitch 2 innings, but the AI coach loves to pull them early at 1.0 inning so expect that to happen.
