Bullpen usage

Tonight is not the first time I’ve seen this happen, where the Angels bring in a reliever with two outs, he gets the third out with a small handful of pitches… then they start the next inning with a new reliever. Washington did it, now Montgomery is doing it. I don’t know if there are a lot of other teams who use their bullpens this way.

Burning out your bullpen when your starters rarely go deep in the game is such an odd strategy, no?
