Too much starting pitching is a positive dilemma currently. How about in the playoffs when the pitching rotation is likely to be reduced to 4. What are the alternatives? Using Bassitt, Berrios or Lauer in long relief can work but could you use two or more of them and not upset the bullpen. There is such a thing as not giving the pen enough work. Hopefully the good chemistry lends itself to all players chipping in for the good of the team. However, pro athletes have big egos and Schneider will have to be careful. He's done a wonderful job this year and is a player's manager for the most part and should be able to negotiate his way through this mostly positive problem. Of course if there is a serious injury to the pitching staff, management will likely look like geniuses.
