It has to be the White Soxs. RP and CP have cost this team 14 games this year and about to be 15 after tonight.

Before tonight's game with the Braves, the Mets had lost 6 home games in a row in which they led all games after the 7th inning.

That was an MLB record.

Ya'll suck I give you that...

But that record would belong to the Astros if they could ever lead after the 7th inning

Astros are offended this question was even asked.

They thought for sure they had this in the bag.

Sox have some good arms at least with Sale, Thornton, and Santos. They shouldn't be pitching to Cabrera in the 9th with 1st base open, though.

I couldn't believe they didn't walk him. That blew my freaking mind. But those pitchers you listed are pretty terrible.

White Sox save percentage isn't even in the bottom ten in the league. Sox convert 64% of their save chances. The Astros and Royals are both below 50%

Sure feels like every other game the RP or CP is blowing a game. I feel bad for Astros and Royals fans then

St Louis has blown a shite ton in the 8th and 9th. I said this on here a month ago.
They are getting better I think/hope.

I'm pretty sure the Dodgers are bad also but not the worst.

The Orioles are certainly a contender for worst bullpen.

4.66 ERA - 3rd worst in baseball
63% Sv Pct - 10th worst in baseball (though its tightly packed around 60%)
10 Saves - 3rd worst in baseball

Houston is clearly the worst, but the O's would be a 500 team if not for their pen. No team except maybe KC has been hurt more by its pen. If the Astros had a great pen... they would still suck.

Sergio Santos has been exceedingly solid for the Sox since anointed closer... they just have a helluva time actually getting to him.

I'd guess probably Royals, Orioles as bad ones.

Stros were terrible solely because of Brandon Lyon, but Melancon has solidified it a lot.

The White Sox are blowing big leads with their bullpen. I think they blew a 7 run lead against the Indians earlier this year. Sale and Thornton are a joke.
