As has been noted, Z takes a while to settle down. Middle relievers do not have a while.
As has been noted, Z has been pitching well and his array of pitches is suited to six innings, not two.
If this goes well, how does he get out of the pen?
If this goes badly, what do we get back from the pen?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Bingo
