Anything more infuriating this year than the Tribe's 'pen?

Seems like the starters give up a few runs early, the hitters will get it close, and then the bullpen immediately blows it...I'm having deja vu every game I watch.

You have it easy. Check out the Angels pen. Those guys will definitely make you cringe. Seems I make it a point to turn the game off immediately when any reliever not named Oliver comes in.

it appears a lot of team's bullpens suck this season.

the Pirates starters have finally been pitching up to their much hyped potential and the pen keeps blowing their leads.

Only thing worse then an imploding bullpen is a rock solid pitching staff and relief pitchers and an offense that is batting .240 as a group......Cincy Reds...look how many times they have scored 2 runs or less, it is frightening.

And Oliver is on the DL. :oops: Hopefully, Shields, Arredondo, and Fuentes can all turn it around.

WTF. 7 runs in the 8th. ::facepalm::
Who ever the hell is bullpen coach. Fire his a** he seems to have no clue what he is doing.

They had no business firing Luis Isaac. This is what happens when you dismiss a coach who obviously was doing his job the right way. Now if they got rid of Shelton....

I'm with Nolan Ryan on this. Screw bullpens. I swear almost every last game is either won or lost on the bullpen. The starter can be pitching a 2 hitter and get taken out because he's thrown 100 pitches. There's still no strong evidence it matters in the long run. If nothing else. Bring a RP in and if he's pitching well let him finish. All this stupid specialist stuff is over the top. Pitching to one guy, and then bringing in the next pitcher, who then blows the game. Some days guys just don't have their stuff that night, why burn through the bullpen until you find him? It seems like it's getting worse by the day for every team. I don't get it.
