As the Colorado Rockies limp to the finish line in 2015, it’s certainly not too early to lay out a wish list of sorts for what we’d like to see in the 2016 bullpen.
The Colorado Rockies have had all kinds of pitching problems this year, and the bullpen has been especially bad.
That’s in part due to awful starting pitching that’s forced the Rockies to go to their pen far too early, and far too often — and that’s given us exhausted relievers who are overly used and completely ineffective.
But the bullpen deserves its own set of blame, too, because even on days where starters have gone deep in games, late inning relievers have found a way to mess things up — and the bullpen as a whole has been allergic to throwing strikes this season.
