My impression was that ta couple people were trying to break it down into that a pitcher gets x-penalty each time through the order or the third+ times through the order and that's the biggest disagreement because if a penalty exist it's certainly not a constant and it is something that at best can only be isolated on a pitcher by pitcher basis and not in the aggregate. As acknowledged pulling an ace on TTOP. Pulling a fifth starter not so much. Very well the difference between an ace and a three starter and a fifth starter seems to be the ability to maintain stuff deeper in games. That much the numbers does tell us.
