“Better than you think” is a relative, and admittedly loaded term. However I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that most D-Backs fans and followers do not have a favorable impression of the bullpen.
At the same time it’s likely most people look at the offense as having been a strength of the team, and on a macro level, they are correct. Most would be inclined to lay the majority of fault for the team’s 13-19 record in one run games, 6thworst in MLB and only better than the Marlins in the NL, squarely at the feet of the bullpen members and manager’s Torey Lovullo’s bullpen management.
