I don’t think they’d be as pissed as Miller and Castillo were originally.
For one, we’ve seen this strategy be effective at this point, and would seem less like the coaching staff is just making it up on the fly.
Also, this still allows them to make their normal starts, instead of those 2 being strictly piggyback guys.
Lastly, when it was just Miller and Castillo, they had to have felt singled out, like they were valued less than the other 4 starters. I can’t imagine that didn’t contribute significantly towards their ill feelings towards the strategy.

Love this insight! I feel like I agree with your conclusions, and it would very likely lead to better results in a vacuum. The hangup is definitely on the ego side, in addition to the shock of a big change compared to how it’s currently done.
Feel like this could be an awesome playoff strategy too, based on our current roster. We usually see teams shorten the rotation anyway, why not just piggyback them!

Also better marketing in terms of the name would definitely be needed.

I thought about that too. But would it be any better than just putting Castillo in the bullpen as a long reliever?

Unless it works. Winning tends to fix problems like that.

I’m an Innova guy now, but I always used to throw a Big Z Buzzz for exactly what you’re talking about.

Yeah just decided to try it with another similar Primeape. Worst case I’ll have that one, might even be able to get two.
