"How can you be responsible when you're just trying to do your best job out there?" Coutlangus said. "You're going out there and just trying to make pitches. You can't sit here and say someone's responsible or some part is responsible. We're a team and we go down as a team. We in as a team. We lose as a team."
Uhhhh, what? While it's true they win as a team and lose as a team, to say the bullpen isn't responsible because "you're going out there and just trying to make pitches" is, well, ridiculous. To not recognize that pitching, and the bullpen in particular, is the main reason why the Reds are where they are is completely foolhardy and to say otherwise makes me wonder if Coutlangus has been paying attention to this season or not.
But hey, as long as you're trying, it doesn't matter whether you get the job done or not, eh Jon? I wonder if my boss will accept the same excuse from me...
