If you were in a coma last week, I envy you.
If not, you’ve probably seen the Dodgers bullpen and wondered whether you were watching the same team from last year. The bullpen hasn’t been good lately.
This became even more prevalent over the weekend against Pittsburgh and especially on Sunday night, when Jim Johnson and Joel Peralta gave up nine runs in the seventh inning, that saw the Dodgers 5-3 lead turn into a 12-5 deficit. It’s been a little better of late, as Yimi Garcia, Luis Avilan and Kenley Jansen have combined for four shutout innings over the last two days.
