Wringing your hands because the bullpen has hit a rough patch through a few meaningless games in September is beyond stupid.



The bullpen has been bad for more than the meaningless games. This has been a trend since August.

We have an historically great offense, we also have a really bad bullpen. Yadda yadda'ing this as a mere bad stretch is pretty stupid.

Let me ask you this, when it comes to the bullpen, what numbers should matter more when trying to project what they will do in October? How they performed from April-July or how they performed from August-September?

I don’t believe either really matters because performance and usage are drastically different in the playoffs.

Bullpens are very difficult to predict. We had the best bullpen in the sport in the second half last season and the worst bullpen ERA of any team in the playoffs in 2021.

Velo is up in the playoffs for most relievers and the usage is drastically different.

The lack of super high velo guys in the pen is my only real concern with the roster construction.
