There’s no nice way to say it: The Rockies’ bullpen is terrible.
This no surprise, nor is it a one-year trend. Losing Scott Oberg (blood clots) for the season didn’t help.
It’s a serious problem. We’ve all watched the late-inning collapses and felt that pain of a quality start wasted or a comeback erased, all while the ineffectiveness reaches historic proportions.
Including Thursday’s 5-4 extra-inning win over San Francisco, in which the Rockies bullpen blew a lead in the eighth inning, the Rockies are currently No. 4 on the worst bullpens in MLB history list when it comes to ERA.
