It absolutely effects how many pitches a guy can throw in a game. If you put an iffy-stamina pitcher in the game as a SP he can give you 90-100 pitches (in the modern game, more if it's an older period and he' gotten good rest) before being exhausted, whereas if you do that with the exact same player designated as a MR, you'll get 2 or 3 innings. I agree that CL vs MR is cosmetic but MR vs SP is not.
