What is your strategy come playoffs for your Call Bullpen Setting?

Call Bullpen only affects the leash each pitcher has (i.e., how quick of a hook you want). For the playoffs, anyone you don't trust I would put at 4 and make sure they are Setup B. Your really trusted starters and relievers probably at 2, with absolute studs at 1. Everyone else at 3.

I generally do studs at 2, next level at 3, then 4, etc. etc. One thing I've learned is super important is adjusting MPC, especially for NL teams. I saw way too many relievers bat because they hadn't hit their MPC yet. I'll shoot almost all my relievers down to 10-15 in the playoffs, maybe higher if I'm an AL team

Bullpen I always have set to a 5 regardless for pull. Guy gets in trouble at all, I want someone else in. But if they are dealing I am ok with hitting their MPC's.

This works exceptionally well in the playoffs as your guys (tend to be) more rested then the regular season. So its not that big a deal if the game goes into extras. Just make sure to have that LRA or LRB ready if the game goes really long.
