Jose Bautista

Jeff Hoffman is just behind them.

Louis Varland is just behind them.

Even Tyler Rogers at this point is just behind them.

So you have five of the top 25 relievers in terms of number of appearances.

I know that...

You were an Ironman for a while as well.

2011 to 2016, you had the fourth most appearances over that stretch.

Tyler Klippard had you edged.

Always.

Always Klipp.

That's it.

So what is, you know, obviously you have no choice.

You're leveraged and you're in a playoff push and things like that.

You don't really have a choice.

But if you are Pete Walker, if you are one of those more veteran bullpen arms, what are you doing now?

you know, game to game, day to day to try to alleviate the fact that you are having to lean on those guys so often because you just don't have the arms.

Are you aware that your numbers back up that you didn't like to pitch with too much rest?

Yeah.

Zero days, one days, or two days rest, your ERA was like 3.3 or lower in each of those situations.

And then if you had three or four days rest, it spiked a little bit.
