Don’t Worry About The Phillies Bullpen

Well, you can’t say we didn’t warn you. As expected, the Phillies bullpen has been… what’s the right adjective here? Bad doesn’t quite cover it. Hideous? Horrendous? Atrocious? Unbearable? All of the above? Through the first three games of the season the bullpen has blown two saves and posted a 12.91 ERA through 7.2 depressing innings of work. It’s painful and frustrating to watch, but on the list of things to worry about for the 2016 Phillies, the performance of the bullpen should be down somewhere near Ryan Howard‘s stolen base total and the performance of The Galapagos Gang.
