To me would suggests they may not be fully developed yet but they can be good enough to win some high scoring games because they will have to.

Besides we all know if Yost pulls Chen when he should have, we likely win the game. Bullpen pitched 10 innings and gave up 3 runs to a very good offense. Not ridiculously great, but very good.

I've generally been a Yost supporter but he's even on his last leg with me. His admission that he basically just wanted to see Chen qualify for the win rather than actually reading OR feeling the game and pulling him is entirely bush league. I'm glad that he admitted it but damn, this isn't little league... no matter how much they try to make it be.
