About a year ago, I wrote the following paragraph I wrote about the 2016 Rockies bullpen.
The 2016 Rockies’ bullpen has been terrible by every measure. Everything from the context neutral ERA to the context reliant Win Probability Added (WPA) shows that the committee has been one of the worst in baseball in 2016, as well as one of the worst in recent memory. Bryan Kilpatrick covered the Rockies’ woes in terms of WPA recently (and also defined the statistic for those unfamiliar). The bullpen’s WPA is the most damning because it shows how bad the relievers have performed in high leverage situations, which in turn highlights how many winnable games the bullpen has cost the Rockies.
