Because the team with the best bullpen performance had all of 4 more wins above replacement on the season so claiming the bullpen "cost" them 20 games in the first three months is silly.
Was it the bullpen that "cost" them those games... or was it the offense not scoring more?, or the starting pitching not doing well enough that day, or the position players not fielding well enough on that day? I'm not going to claim the Jays pen was the best, but claiming they cost them 20 is quite possibly the silliest thing (or at least the most erroneous thing) Alpine has ever said.
