With a healthy bullpen, relievers know which situations Bell wants them to solve. When relievers are on the DL, the healthy pitchers must take on more than one role or a different role. Some might pitch longer. Some might pitch earlier. Lefty specialist Mike Myers already has faced nine right-handed hitters.
Preparation is a huge part of the game.
As the season continues and our roles are defined a little better, we'll be better prepared. White is one reliever who has been affected the most. I think it's fair for me to say that it's a problem. It's hard to set up situations. Generally, in a set bullpen everyone knows what's going on.
