That bullpen is going to kill us.

If it wasnt for the bullpen we may have the best record in baseball.

Will Smith is the only one in the bullpen I feel confident would slap some outs on a hitter.

Or just throw complete games.

Or just throw complete games.

Yes. Complete games or if you can't throw a complete game then just Will Smith in relief

I've always thought replacing a starting Pitcher with a lead was wrong. What is the stat of losing a lead pitching?

I don't know but in this day of metrics and (maybe) over analysis, it seems they are much more ready to pull a starter if his go- to pitch drops .5 mph.

Unfortunately that's old school thinking which I do prefer myself but in today's league it's about the "specialist" reliever. That's been a few years now but also while Texas may have the worse bullpen statistically there are a lot of good teams that are having bullpen issues. I just hope with Ezequiel Duran now developing into a stud they don't trade him. But with Seager at SS that may be an option to get some bullpen arms.
