You may not know what you are going to get from the pen, but the last two nights it was pretty obvious that the starters didn't have it. If the middle guys give up a couple of runs, they will give those runs up whether they come in after the 3rd or the 4th innings. In that extra 1/3, 2/3 of an inning the starter tacks on another couple of runs. If the middle guy comes in after 5 runs and stems the tide, he gives you a chance to win. If he shits the bed, well you were going to lose anyway.
