Wuertz threw 11 pitches yesterday. Ohman and Howry each threw 9. The bullpen hasn't been "burned." There's no need to bring someone up for that reason. where are you getting your pitch counts? Wuertz threw 35, Ohman threw 22 and Howry threw 21 according to the mlb.com box score. Haha. I was looking at the wrong column in Fred's useless stats. Thanks. Anyway, Eyre threw all of 2 pitches yesterday, so he should be fine. And Cotts, Dempster, Howry, and Wuertz all got the day off on Monday. No reliever has thrown more than 68 pitches total in the last week. The bullpen should not be fatigued. If Z performs anything like he did in the first 2 weeks, we'll have a tired bullpen after tonight for sure though. The way Z is pitching tonight, we'll need to finish the game with Hill and go to a four-man rotation. Wow.
