Especially when EVERYONE in the bullpen was available, except Cotton. I don't see why they didn't let Jax at least start the 8th, he has been a starter, he can try to get 6 outs.
There is no reason for Pagan to be pitching in that spot after last week. I'm not sure what the logic is behind it when everyone else in the bullpen was available.
Everything I've heard is more along the lines of limiting him due to his injury history. But they really need to get more out of him if possible down the stretch.
I'd like to see him try to get to 80-90 pitches as the season goes on, the bullpen could use that sort of length from him. I understand with the injuries why they are being so cautious with him.
