In that situation, you might as well throw everything you've got at 'em. Managers refer to that as having "Johnny Allstaff" available in the pen.

Managers refer to that as having "Johnny Allstaff" available in the pen. The Braves did that a long time ago on a July 4th game. Used up all their pitchers early but the game went to extra innings- over 20 innings total. Rick Camp wound up pitching well over 9 innings of relief because they had nobody else and finally ran out of gas. Braves lost of course (they sucked mightily back then), we had fireworks at like 4 AM on July 5th.
