Both Brad Hand and Daniel Hudson appeared in four of the last five games before the off day for the Washington Nationals yesterday, and both threw in all three of the games this past weekend in the nation’s capital.
Davey Martinez talked after the series finale with the Orioles on Sunday about the balance of trying to win games while looking towards the future when it comes to bullpen usage.
The basis of the discussion was his decision to use Hudson and Hand in all three games against Baltimore.
“I talked to them and they both were — we had to get them up and get them in, that’s what we had to do today, they both were okay with that being that we had a day off tomorrow,” Martinez explained.
