I'll always take the win. You adjust your roster and call up your best minor league pitcher if you had to burn another of your starters in the 18 innings.
I guess it could depend on where you are in the standings and who you play. But I'm always inclined to take the guaranteed win.
Especially now with the 26 man roster. Lose that third catchers for a few games and add an extra reliever, or don't be a pussy and let your starter go more than 6.
Last year, the Braves would have as much as 4 starters in their pen at any given time as well. Josh Tomlin, Sean Newcomb, and a combination of Kyle Wright/Bryse Wilson/Touki Toussaint/Wes Parsons
You have to take the win. At the end of every season if you are trying to make the playoffs it seems like every game counts and considering if you dont win your division you will end up playing a nonsense 1 game playoff elimination.
