I went to tandems just to get Sam Swindell more work. It feels dirty, but I'm not doing it for exploitative matchups, but moreso to get more work for my low-stamina pitchers and setting up a hierarchy of who relieves who.
I tried that strategy for a couple of seasons in different worlds. Â I have found a lot more success in getting guys innings just by having the right stamina and durability mixes on my staff and keeping the staff as small as possible. Even in the simplest setup, you can get him plenty of work as long as you don't care about him picking up wins.
