Pitching "Away" Instructions/Confusion

Posted By Anthony

I'm really confused. In G4, I submitted away instructions with 5 pitchers listed as starting pitchers and J. Rincon as my closer.

In Game 1: my starter was pulled in the 7th (that was ok) but my game 3 starter (a long reliever/starter-Sturtze) relieved when I had a rusty Baez and plenty of relievers listed as relievers and available.

In Game 2: Rincon was brought on in the 6th inning of a tie game. He was subsequently unavailable in a save situation later which the rusty Baez (finally summoned) came in and blew.

What gives with that? I was hoping STurtze could give me 5-6 innings in Game 3 but having relieved in Game 1...who knows what he has in the tank but I don't like to see my listed starters used as relievers and my listed closer used as a middle guy-Rincon has been closing for me all year.

Thoughts?
