Our bullpen has been very good all year but those guys are tired right now. Everybody's tired.
Our bullpen came up big time tonight. Gustavo struggled. He might be getting a little tired. He's closing in on that 200-inning marker. His last couple of starts, his ball has been up.
Look at his arm, his age. He's got a chance to be a very good starter. I don't think we're even considering the bullpen right now. He's got too much going for him the other way.
I think (sending McGowan to Triple-A) would do him good because of the way the bullpen is stacked up right now. We're not coming down here with him eliminated (from the picture). But if we were to keep him with us, it would have to be a vital role.
They pitched good. They're bullpen was outstanding. We battled and we hung in there -- gave ourselves some chances. But they came through.
