A superior outfield, 2 of the best at their positions, a very good staff, and a competent relief core. Hooli always finds a way.
The patience you display while exploiting the 6 reliever starting option is a thing of beauty. I my never draft another pitcher again🤔.

Re: Bird & Rock
Actually, my starters have roughly 675 IP while my relievers have roughly 160 IP so far. All of my relievers together total slightly more IP the Corbin Burnes which means they combine to pitch the innings of one outstanding starter. Honestly that's below the ratio that relievers pitch compared to starters in MLB. Â
My relievers have pitched right at 20% of my total IP so far. My perception is that in the big leagues, RP pitch at least 30% of the innings. Thats why I haven't ever thought playing 6 RP was twisting the game.
Now, where my RP have really shined is they have combined for 18 W and 66 SV. That has really helped but some of that is just dumb luck.
The tradeoff of carrying so many RP is that I cannot carry as many SP to play matchups with. I pretty much have to start my SP every start or I will not get anywhere near the IP I need to compete in Ks. There are pros and cons for every strategy.
