it very well could be that it's better off with the way it was.
And you tell Matt Strom and Lucas Erceg and now Daniel Lynch, you say, hey, look,
When we are coming up to this part of the lineup, you are going to pitch, whether it's the sixth, seventh, or eighth.
And sorry, but this guy needs the ninth inning, which I don't think he does because he wasn't always a closer.
I would work Estevez back, not in a closer's role, and leave things where they are right now because they're working.
And there will be a time when they stop working.
And when that happens, then you can make a move because bullpens go up and down.
They, they just do when they're, they're never, almost never as good as you think they are.
And they're almost never as bad as you think they are.
So when, when, when the tide turns, then you make adjustments.
Where it gets tricky is, let's say he goes to Omaha.
Let's say he goes to Omaha, pitches three games, averages 98.2 with his fastball, strikes out nine guys in three innings.
Maybe he should go back to that closers role.
So I guess we'll see how that plays out.
And if he does that and Lucas Erceg walks five guys in three innings while he's there, okay, it's a pretty easy answer.
But I do think that if you're Carlos Estevez โ
Again, he is a good clubhouse guy by all accounts.
