Pitching Question

[meltz]

Does anyone know what the difference between a Mopup Relever, Setup Relever and Middle Relever. Like when do you put each of these different pitchers in the game and such?

Just wanted to know the difference and if it matters at all

Mopup Pitcher is your guy who comes in when your team has a very big lead or you are so far behind the game is hopeless. Should be your lowest Q pitcher.

A Middle Man is a guy you send in if your starter tires early or is having a bad day. Around the 5th or 6th inning hoping he can get you to the 8th where you bring in your setup man.

You setup guy should never pitch more than 1 inning. (The 8th.) Leaving the 9th for your closer.

OBP+Slugging. IMO it's the most telling offensive stat.

FWIW, I like using a rookie I'm not sure about or a vet who may or may not have lost it as my mop-up man. That way if the guy is horrible he probably didn't lose any games for me, and if he does well I can move him into a bigger and better role.
