not true. I'll take 6IP every night until the end of time. Like I have said before, we have a bullpen that is solid and can handle 3 innings per night. Our problem comes in when we need to give 6 innings per night. That is where the pen burns out. Last yr, we had 3 pitchers average 6IP per start and the rest averaged under 5 and we were fine. Our major issue has been the average starters IP of 4.7 prior to last nights game. That is not sustainable.
