Bullpen

[Red Rover]

I thought that the Reds Bullpen was a strength this year, but after further look, they have been terrible.

56% Save rate - tied for 29th in ML
22 Relief loses - 1st in ML

YUCK! (Could this be the answer to all the trouble in 1 run games?)

Yep! and clutch hitting

[CWRed]

Biggest reason for this year's failures is the pitching mostly the eye popping walk rate mainly from the bullpen.

Also batting with runners on, not just RISP which if I recall correctly is not as
bad as everyone thinks compared to league average.

And lastly...DUSTY FREAKIN' BAKER.

Bullpen relies too much on defense. Too much contact and walks.

[Skreep]

look at how many people we had in the pen who arent there anymore.

baker needs to use Jordan Smith more, after all the scoreboard is wrong isnt it?
