We need another man in the bullpen

That's the only thing so far about this season that concerns me. Everything else has been great. Starters are not going deep into the game at all. We're running the risk of burning out our pen, especially our best guys because we keep using them. A position player needs to be sent down unless the rotation starts going deeper into games.

Tyler Wilson is here and hasn't pitched since Opening Day. I think he might be fresh, Cal.

He's fresh, but he's not being used because the rainouts and such have screwed with our 5 man rotation. And we keep winning so we keep going to our best guys almost every game in high leverage spots. O'Day and Britton at this rate is concerning.

Alright, well then surely he should be sent down instead of a position player, no?

No because he's just reserve. We're gonna burn through him too at this rate. So far we have been putting massive strain on our back end for this early in the year.

So we have someone in the bullpen that we haven't used in 6 games, but we need another guy because the other 6 pitchers in the bullpen (including Bundy, who pitched yesterday for the second time this year) are being overused. That is your position?

Well yes. Wilson has to get used or go down.

We have two long men right now-Macfarland and Wilson. We can sometimes use Worley as the long man if we can skip the fifth starter.

If it goes 16 innings tonight, Miranda can start Friday and Drake and Richard Rodriquez and Todd Redmond on the redeye to Texas.
