I imagine that starting next year managers won't be so eager to try to get every pitcher in the game. Cliff Lee only threw 20 pitches in 2 innings as the starter. He could have at least gone another inning and then give another starter 2 innings. A third starter 1 inning. Now you're left with the 7th, 8th and 9th for relievers and if the game goes to extras you still have starting pitchers left.

Stop pitching Starters 1 inning at a time and this isn't an issue. You should have a couple of starters and a couple of relievers be there still after the 9th inning if need be. Each team has 12 pitchers, no reason at all you should run out of options!

The managers have obviously shifted a little bit in their thinking since the ASG in Milwaukee, but still no All Star wants to travel to the game just to sign autographs.
