But needing the bullpen sort of goes in tandem with the starting pitching. The starters have been consistently giving quality starts lately which doesn't tax the bullpen like the 4-5 inning starts at the beginning of the season.
I guess the scenario we haven't seen as much of lately is the offence not hitting and the starting pitching doing a good job where you have a 2-2 game in the 7th inning. That is where the shaky bullpen may give away a few potential wins for sure.
