Bullpen has been excellent.

[DocJJ]

Wow.  I don't recall any O's team having such a great pen.  I hope we don't overwork them.   Too bad our starters are lousy and Rodriguez got hurt....

 

Cionel Perez

Jorge Lopez

Felix Bautista

Nick Vespi

Keegan Akin

Dillon Tate

 

All have been most excellent!

The 2012 team had the highest WPA of all time for a bullpen until a Rangers team bested the mark.

And with the exception of Lopez and Bautista, none of them have overpowering stuff.  They pitch into a lot of double plays and clutch flyouts.  Nothing wrong with that at all, as the most important key to success is not allowing hard hit balls.

When Lopez is traded, do they give Hall a closer look?

To complete a doctorate at such a young age is impressive.

I think either Perez or Tate would get the promotion.

I think it would be Batista.

In fairness I would in Joey Krehbiel.  

I would hate to see any of these guys traded though I know if they help get a starter for the future they may go.

There is an Open Mic on Wednesday nights in Turner Falls, MA hosted by a guy named Brian Matusz.

It’s very tricky to compare bullpens across eras.  The 1966 bullpen threw 504 innings.   The 1971 bullpen threw only 243.   Last year’s bullpen threw 666.  This year’s is on pace to throw 681.  They’ve already thrown 50 more innings than the ‘71 pen did all year.

First in my heart but not stats:  Gregg Olson and whoever else they cobbled together between '89-93.  The second/third guys were a mixed bag from Williamson, Frohwirth, Flanagan, Mills, Poole...  But Olson and his curve was must-watch TV in those days.
