Maybe, but I think the coaches may value Duensing's
versatility more as a long reliever and use him that way if
necessary first if Joba or Johnny have trouble early to
middle innings in a regional game.  Brian's a different
pitcher than he was years ago before the injuries, but he
has developed this season after some early struggles.  I'm
sure this week has been great for his confidence and having
been in the bullpen may have relaxed his approach as well.

But the coaches really look game by game when it comes to
the post-season.  There's an overall plan with the pitching
and then there's what do we do in the first game if Joba
runs into trouble and so on.  I'm don't know if this week
and the performances by any of the pitchers will warrant a
change in the starting pitching for the regional.
