I understand extra innings, but since you are only getting4-5 out of Butler/Anderson and 3+ from Monty – you are burning 2 pitchers for 5 and 3+ days instead of normal rotation and 1 long relief occasionally. I don’t see the math to keep covering for guys who can’t consistently eat innings, especially since it seems all but (possibly) Lackey are back on track.
