Im sorry. When your offense scores 6 runs and the starter goes 7 and allows 2, you should win that game 10/10 times. This bullpen has pissed away too many games like this
Agreed. Our depleted bullpen is to blame.

Our bullpen is so reliant on breaking balls early in counts, and most of them are struggling to get anywhere near the zone. Sometimes, a fastball isn’t the worst first pitch.

This was a good bullpen last year and the only thing that changed was the pitching coach and Beeks

Dude, they gave up a lot of leads last year too...Stinkel just didn't start showing up this year...also, the Sewald effect ran it's course.

I have already done this analysis in another thread. 70% of the pitching staff is above their career WHIP. When 70% is worse, its management in any business
