I used to work for the Georgia Tech baseball team. In MANY early season games (and our season started in early February each year), the coach would use the following NCAA rule which allowed him to declare before the game started that he would use at least three pitchers, which allowed the scorer (me) to waive the "starting pitcher must go five innings to get the win" rule:
10-25-b-2: By prearrangement, if three or more pitchers are to be used, the pitcher of record shall be considered the winning pitcher.
I worked there six years. Of course there were times I thought a given pitcher was left in too long, but I never saw "abuse" of pitchers. They were too valuable of a commodity to risk for any one game.
