Teams with weak bullpens can just utilize match-ups to their advantage instead of the normal scenario where you can't afford to have more than 1-2 guys that are just there to get out only leftie or rightie batters.

And (far worse, IMO) you can throw as many relievers out there as you want, and you'll still have plenty for tomorrow.
No consequences for your actions.
It's just flat out wrong.
