gotten liked lost run since support tight
Since he's come back, I've liked everything we've gotten out of him, ... Sometimes, he hasn't gotten any run support -- he's lost some tight ballgames. His won-loss record, I think, is misleading.

We are hoping it's not. Even if it's not something serious, it's going to set him back a little bit anyways.
bullpen coming eliminated good stacked vital
I think (sending McGowan to Triple-A) would do him good because of the way the bullpen is stacked up right now. We're not coming down here with him eliminated (from the picture). But if we were to keep him with us, it would have to be a vital role.
