Bullpen Usage/Away Instructions Revisted

Posted By Anthony

Can you please clarify the bullpen usage when submitting away instructions? I used to think I knew but am no longer sure and have placed the bullpen usage in the "Average" slot to play it safe. I just noticed a series where some excelelnt starters like Padilla and Santana were pulled after 5 innings pitching well with a lead so that does not strike me as "average"

1) If I want my starter to go deep in a game, do you select Conservative or Aggressive Use of Bullpen??????

I would think it would be conservative re bullpen but appreciate clarification.

Thank you
