I haven't used Tandem starters too often, but I've arrived at a place where it makes the most sense in one league.
In a recent 11-3 win, I can't figure out how the "B" pitcher was used. Since I know Sparky only does what we tell him, I just need to figure out what I told him wrong.

My Tandem A starter threw 62 pitches in 5 innings and left with an 11-0 lead. He's set at 55 TPC/75 MPC/ 2 Call bullpen, so that looked just right to me.
My Tandem B pitcher entered to start the 6th. He's set at 40 TPC/50 MPC/2 Call bullpen. He faced 5 batters, gave up 2 runs, threw 20 pitches, and was replaced by the Mopup. It was 11-2 at that point and 2 outs in the 6th. He was nowhere near the 40 TPC and the game was already in hand.
Does Sparky go to the Mopup as early as possible? Would a Call Bullpen setting of 1 make a difference? The frustration is that another pitcher later had to work 2 innings that the Tandem B likely could have handled some or all of.
Thanks for the guidance.
