Heard Peter Gammons on the radio this morning talking about how Roberts sets up his bullpen. Thought it was pretty interesting. Rather than have his guys "assigned" to an inning, the bullpen guys are told which players they are intended to face. Maeda knew before the game even started that he was likely to go against Russell/Baez/Contreras (or another 3-in-a-row righty combo, don't precisely remember). Allows him to develop a game plan, and to study video, etc. on specific victims rather than just being told an inning...
Wonder if we'll see more of this in the future, or stick with the high/low leverage process.
