been playing the bases for over 25 years and don't remember bullpens this bad. seems like most relief pitchers come into game and first thing they do is walk the first hitter they face. relief pitchers who can't throw strikes are like dog that chase cars; they don't last long.

probably the same reason grand slams are on a record pace this season. Pitching sucks.

I think that everytime I see relievers. I can't believe the number of walks issued in late innings of games. Ridiculous.

Granted that bullpens have performed materially worse this year (so far) compared to years past, I still have never understood the constant talk (mosty complaining) on forums about them effecting outcome of games (as if they should have no effect on games). In fact, bettors should welcome the notion that they are having more material impact, as that is one facet of baseball handicapping that is less efficient quantified by the market place than other facets that have inlfuence on the outcome of the game.

I am not singaling out this thread, as this is a rather tame one compared to most threads on this forum which displays bettors constantly bashing bullpens for "ruining" their bets.
