 after the game yesterday and kind of came away with that decision and then cemented it probably last night that that's the way we wanted to go you know I just I think it's the best thing for everyone involved right now you know obviously Lance Lynn has you know been starting all years been a very consistent starter so you know him being in the fold obviously makes this possible and hopefully this is something for Sonny that you know it can help jump start him a little bit and my you know one of my messages to Sonny is it's a really important role on our team so you know and obviously we're at a very important part of the season so you know we really need to go him to go down there and and get after it and hopefully provide us with quality length on those days when we need it as I've said and I still really feel this way the stuff is there Sonny Gray is very close to being a really good starting pitcher still and even where he's at right now I just felt like you know some of the outings we're getting you know where where it spirals away from him where where he's struggling to really give us any any length and there was you know too many times right now where you know the short short lengths kind of kind of set us back for a couple days as well and and and I just think where we are in the season coming off of that outing to throw him back out there right now might have been a tough hurdle to overcome you know with that said you know the expectation is for him to go and absolutely be a factor for us out of the pen and another thing you know that I've talked to Sonny about too is look with our situation it seems very fluid right now and you know as different injuries pop up you know it could change and we very may well need him back in the starting rotation very soon he may pitch himself back into the starting rotation I could maybe see it coming a little bit but at the end of the day I told Booney and he told me to stay positive you could you could be back in you could be back in this rotation you know whenever you never know how things are going to play out but it's a little disappointing but at the end of the day I know that in order to to be starting pitcher you know on this team in the middle of a pen and race that that you've got to perform and I I need to I need to do a better job on the field in order to stay to stay in the role that I ultimately want to be in but at the end of the day I'm going to go down there and try to learn a new role and and try to and try to succeed in it and and do whatever I can to help help this team and and ultimately help help help help us win
