Not buying the Pen is Gassed theory
here, maybe certain arms but not all of them. We have played more games and sit second last in the majors in innings pitched in relief! Even over the month of June or last 11 games we have only pitched 29 innings! Is under use causing some of the pens problems to consistency and overall effectiveness? 7,8,9 to the pen also gets our starters some rest if adhered and stuck too! Even in Osauna's case pitching every second day he would have pitch 5-6 innings and what is he at 5.1 so it overuse or how they have been used? If a pen is asked to pitch 3 we have under used our pen by 29 innings this year, and by almost a inning per game by innings pitched by the top 3 teams in the league.
So is it overuse, underuse or how they have been used?
Discuss? Thanks, BBBB
