One crazy thing to me is that we've talked about the short pen all year, but apparently our pen was deeper than the number one team in the country. I get that some of that is them having one dominant reliever, but in a win or go home game, they stretched out that guy, who hadn't made a start on years, and their only relief was a starter that had thrown 99 pitches two days ago. The development of Villaman, using him as a starter most of the year, and having him there for long relief really was the difference. If we don't have him to bridge to Justice, we probably don't win.
Just a guy on the sunshine squad.
