Jim Henneman: Orioles Get No Respect With 'Bullpen Of The Week' Award

[PressBoxOnline]

Jim Henneman had no idea MLB had a "Bullpen of the Week" award, but now that he does, he's baffled the Orioles have not won the honor yet this season.

Wow, the formula for that award is really convoluted. I'm still a bit surprised the O's have never won it this season. Probably due to the heavy emphasis the formula puts on strikeouts. I guess we'll just have to settle for having a bullpen that is 1st in wins, last in losses, 2nd in saves, 5th in save percentage and 4th in ERA in MLB.

It's because we have too much of an unfair advantage. We have a 15 man pitching staff while most teams only have 12, because our GM is smart than everyone.

You can't criticize this.
