Welp, I’m glad I decided to check the baseball scores. For I was under the impression this was another evening game. But turns out it’s effectively a little after noon, so I am scurrying to assemble a quick GDT. Nice to see the bullpen get another day off. The past week has been largely a holiday for them. Jonathan Loaisiga hasn’t pitched at all since May 8th, while Brandyn Garcia and Juan Morillo have thrown only seven and ten pitches. Paul Sewald is the only guy with more than two appearances in that time, having taken the mound on three occasions. Not often any bullpen get an entire day off in Denver.
As noted yesterday, the D-backs’ bullpen ERA for May is currently the best in the majors at 1.99. If that is sustained for the rest of the month, it’ll be among the very best in franchise history. The only other times it has been below two for a calendar month, were in July 2015 (1.78 over 81 IP) and the start of 2018 (1.92 over 98.1 IP). The most recent “best” month was the last month of 2023, which you may remember as we rode the bullpen into the post-season, and on to the World Series. There, the Arizona bullpen posted an ERA of 2.31 over 117 innings, going 6-1. We’ll see what happens the rest of the month.
