I'll never understand how/why people take personal offense to these posts/opinions.

Savage post.

Yeah, you fuckers.  Keep it civil.
Great use of the word geekoid, by the way.

Looking back at my post it was a little more antagonistic then I intended, nothing personal 13eowulf.

Back to the subject at hand, I almost never use a reliever to start, however one situation in which I have is when we play a 7 game series.  If I get ahead in the series, I may try to get through a game without using a starter so that I can have both starters available in the following game to finish them off.

i am sorry as well I didn't mean to get upset this game is super fun to talk about and I don't want to ruin anyone's day over a dumb post I made on a forum.     i used to start relivers a long time ago in games me and my freind played using no starters at all, truly hillarious after teh 7th inning.

Eventhough this topic may be beaten to death, I would have to say that the situation depends on your opponent.  For example, my old college roommates were great 1st and 2nd inning hitters.  When I wasn't playing as Detroit, I would use the Giants and start one of their closers.  Nine times out of ten this strategy would work.  By starting the game with Grelts, I would get two strong scoreless innings and have Big Daddy (Rueshl) to finish up the 7th, 8th and 9th innings.
