A bullpen for a Major League organization is so critical for success, and a bullpen is what the Arizona Diamondbacks lack. One game after another, the relief pitchers find someway to add a number in the loss column as they alone have a 4-7 record to the Arizona total 14-17.

Some of the names in the D-Back bullpen include Oliver Perez, Evan Marshall, Brad Ziegler, and closer Addison Reed. The story typically goes as follows: the starting pitcher, whether it is Chris Anderson, Jeremy Hellickson, Josh Collmenter, or Rubby De La Rosa, will battle back and forth with the opposing pitcher keeping the score tight.
