All I'm saying is the raw numbers are not as bad as everything thinks. I still consider Ws and Ls for the bullpen to have a large luck component to it - so much matters when the starter exits and how well batting is late in the game. Blue Jays have a 0.615 OPS in "close & late" situations. Is there no blame to be laid on the hitters for not getting it done later in games too?

Giving them 5 more wins with a better bullpen is extreme - they probably should have 2-3 more wins based on luck alone and that's fine in my eyes.
