As of June 8, the Detroit Tigers have the second-best bullpen ERA in baseball.
Wait, what?
The same Detroit Tigers whose abysmal late-game pitching potentially cost them multiple World Series appearances and — potentially — wins? The ones who threw money at proven veterans with excellent track records only to turn into pumpkins in Detroit?
Yes, the very same.
How did we get here? How did we get to a team whose bullpen ERA, at 2.84, ranks second best in the entire MLB, and whose 1.10 WHIP is also second best?
