Hmm - guess I wasn't listening to the 9th that closely. Didn't realize the 3 runs were scored there.
Still, I don't think the bullpen is as bad as everyone makes it out to be. They are 17th in the MLB in terms of ERA (9th in AL), so below average, but not exactly a dumpster fire. I am in the camp that reliever arms come and go pretty easily (remember Delebar anyone?) so there is no need to spend assets to try to get one more good reliever for a stretch run.
