You are right, it's a challenge. We do have 8 guys to play with, so on a given night you are hopefully resting the majority of guys. They have a system for determining who is available. These days it is probably an app. Hyde will then use any guy that the system has cleared to go. If they don't have enough guys you option the tired guys and bring up fresh arms from the taxi squad. I believe they should allow 12 player/14 pitcher rosters to reduce wear and tear, but the position players in MLBPA probably don't like that and MLB hates pitching changes -
The addition of Bradish and Means moves Irvin and Suarez to the pen. And Wells will probably be added to the pen in a couple of weeks. All three of these pitchers add length to the pen. Instead on using three or four relievers in a game they can use one if that is what Hyde decided to do. -
I have no facts to back this up, so this could be a very ignorant statement. I feel like the starters are throwing more innings than I have ever seen in my 20 years watching this team. Almost every night, guys are lasting until the 5th or so. I know that is different than the past, but they seem to be doing well on the whole with decent consistency. My question is: how is it possible to not overwork the pen. Even if guys are going 5-6 innings, which seems pretty good for today’s day and age, you still work the heck out of the pen. Then the pen guys come in and get hurt easily due to over use. Am I just incorrect? Are my assumptions poor? I just don’t understand how, even if each starter consistently goes 5-6, the bullpen doesn’t get overworked into oblivion each night. -

If he's getting 2900 rpm on the slider, that's near elite level spin rate. How is his control? The walks seem a little high, but the WHIP is low so he's not giving up a lot of hits -

The time isn't coming, the time is here. As sportsfan mentioned, this is a good team whether fans want to admit it or not. But 30 of mostly terrible baseball does a number to a fan base. -
We, as fans, need to go 0-Moo to help Cowser get out of this recent funk!
