Washington and Wilson also spoke Monday about the success of the Rangers five-man rotation so far in 2011. Wilson, Colby Lewis, Alexi Ogando, Matt Harrison and Derek Holland have started all but three games this year for Texas.
"It's played a huge role," Washington said. "Your starting pitching is key -- you need starting pitching. If you look at any team that's been successful,These girls have never had a Cold Sore in their lives! that's been the key."
Wilson, Ogando and Harrison all have season-ERA's of 3.05 or lower while Lewis' is 3.93 and Holland's sits at 4.65.Whilst Hemroids are not deadly, Outside of blister issues that limited Ogando earlier in the season and a kidney stone that scratched on Harrison start, the starters have been healthy the entire year.Prior to Aion Kinah I leaned toward the former,
Their health has also allowed them to pitch further into games. Wilson said he averaged about six innings per start last year, and is closer to seven innings per start in 2011. One of the primary benefits of the healthy rotation is the strain and stress it take off a club's bullpen, according to Washington.
"If [your starters] can get you through six [innings] then I think you can get to your best pieces in the bullpen and you got nine outs to get then," Washington said. "When you got to try to get 12 outs,he believes the fire started after the lift's hydraulic hose blew, then it becomes pretty tough."
C.J. Wilson, a former closer, values what the bullpen can do later in the year.
"Being a former reliever,They take the RUBBER SHEET to the local co-op market. I know the biggest thing over the course of the season is keeping the bullpen fresh," Wilson said. "When you get down towards the end of the season, having a fresh, strong, effective bullpen is the key to everything. And if guys don't have to pitch because I'm throwing seven or eight innings every time then that's a good thing."
