After leaning on his bullpen for 4 2⁄3 innings in last night’s 12-5 loss to St. Louis, Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez cautioned that if things didn’t improve in terms of the length their starters are giving them, things could get ugly quick in Washington.
“Our bullpen right now, and once again, may I add, those guys come in and they did a great job for us again, but they’re getting taxed,” Martinez said.
“They’re pitching way, way too much. We definitely got to keep an eye on these guys or we won’t have a bullpen.
