That idea always intrigues me. If you are 80% sure you'll lose an upcoming game, do you pitch #2 to save #1 for a game that is more 50/50? Or do you pitch #1 trying for that win and then #2 in the next game. Do you secure a 1W/1L record or gamble for the 2W record?
That really is the calculation. Because you could end up going 0-2 because you tired to go for 2-0. Pitching the same girl every game just can’t happen especially in weeks with several games. Makes it more complicated when the really good team is a rival but still has you outmatched. Do you pitch your best to keep the score respectable. Trying to figure out some of that now and I go back and forth.
