Bullpen Circle Of Trust

Lotta 2-1 losses.

How did you come to that conclusion?

By watching.

Must be watching the Royals.

Nope

I'm honestly not even sure what you two are arguing about.

Me: Cards need to be very aggressive in fixing the bullpen next year.

MCG: If we spend our money on the bullpen, the offense will suck.

Me: How do you figure?

MCG: Cause my eyes tell me so.

Me: It's not like we have the Royals offense. It's actually mediocre, and that's with Fowler and Ozuna being so bad.

MCG: Nope, we are really bad on offense.

Interesting that there are no caveats for the bullpen but there are for the lineup.

Investing heavily in the most prone part of a team to wild swings while effectively running it back on an offense that is hot and cold at best is not a good strategy.

They both suck.

The offense and the bullpen, not MrCG and Dmarx.

We can still invest in upgrading the lineup. I never said that we shouldn't or couldn't.

[MrCrowesGarden]

That's where I would do the aggressive upgrading.

It almost seems like having a good bullpen leads to winning baseball games.
