I know what you mean about Houser. In Milwaukee, even as a #5 he was only good for 4 innings at best. His one decent season ended up with a 3 run HR to Joc Pederson to lose a game in the playoffs against the Braves in 2021. That was on Counsell for leaving a righty in against a guy who crushes righties, but Houser did his part well.
You do need innings though, and the lack of starting pitching is going to be a bigger factor now that April is finished and overworked bullpens can't keep up the innings total. It's happening in Milwaukee right now.
