Defined bullpen roles are signposts or guidelines for the AI. The AI will still select SOMEBODY to pitch even if the roles don't match the current situation. If your starter gets knocked out in the third inning and you don't have any long relievers defined, the AI will choose based on its own evaluation. Also, you don't see everything there is to see about another team's bullpen roles. They might have everyone defined as primary middle relief (you see this) but with secondary roles like stopper or long relief (you don't see this).
