Going into tonight's game, the pen is in relatively good shape. Garcia went 8 on Sunday, with Jackson pitching the 9th.
Last night, Motte, Ramirez, Viz and JJ each pitched an inning. Pitch count totals were reasonable: 19, 10, 17 and 16, respectively.
So I think everyone is available tonight. With a lead of 4 or less, I think we'll see the same four depending on which inning it is. Motte probably exerted more effort than the others last night. So maybe there is a case for being careful with him tonight.
Bigger lead or if we are tied or behind we will see one of the four other guys.
