Please show me where our bullpen is better this year compared to last year.

Scroll up. You said all the stats show that the bullpen is worse this year. All the stats don't show that. In fact, many stats show the opposite. You also said our bullpen is third best in the division which is definitely not an open and shut case, and the main thing I was arguing against.

You stat guys can't admit when you are wrong, even when the stats prove it.

The stats don't prove it at all. You stats haters refuse to acknowledge or use facts to back yourselves up.

what pace are they on now?

Always good to use day to day fluctuations to make a case for a 162-game season. To humor you, they are now on pace for 4.9 WAR, which would be a very small drop from last year. Looking at FIP still shows that the bullpen has just been unlucky compared to last year.

This is a good bullpen with a lot of very young power arms. The one guy I would like to see gone is Carpenter.
