Roy Oswalt will pitch out of the bullpen for the Rangers after meeting with Ron Washington. "I never knew anything wasn't fine," Washington said. "We had a conversation today to clear the air, that was it. It wasn't like it wasn't clearing the air of something negative, it was just clearing the air of exactly what was said, and we moved on." Oswalt told Washington he couldn't pitch a third inning of relief on Sunday, but he says things got out of hand in the media. "I think people are trying to make too much out of something that really was nothing to make anything out of," Oswalt said. "We're talking about throwing 200 pitches over a seven-day period, and that's the reason my outing got limited. I didn't say I was quitting. Everything got out of whack by people assuming things. "You ask anybody that got demoted if they like it and they're not going to like it. I'm a starter, been one for 12 years, so that's what I see myself as. Anybody that has done something they've been pretty good at for 12 years and then you put in another role, they're not going to be real happy about it. But it's not like I'm going down there and saying I'm not going to pitch. I'm not that type of person."
