A bullpen mismanagement tale in simulated pandemic baseball

Baseball ends up breeding discussions, or disputes, over strategy. Some of them are healthy, some are horribly divisive. With no games of importance being played, now seems a good time for discussing a bullpen move, with a hope to make similar future discussions easier.

Through the hiatus, I've been playing quite a bit of Strat-O-Matic Baseball. My SupraLiga (the league's name) has 52 teams. One for each state, and one each for Toronto and Montreal. Many, including the two extras, have a lean toward their locales.

Rosters are very deep. Teams have 40 players, and four player/coaches, who can be subbed in when players are injured.
