I know this is a hot take but I think that makes it harder to win the series.
Heads should be rolling by now
yet this ERA is still 15 lower than our starting rotation’s ERA last year vs. arizona
Bullpen has always been an issue for them with Kimbrel blowing it last year et al
This is so crazy because it’s an alright bullpen. Not good not bad.
Have they fired their coaches yet?
You really can’t predict baseball
Phillies bullpen was really good all year, and then just imploded in the postseason
There was an article in The Athletic last month about how in the wild-card era, there have only been three teams that played .500 or worse in the second half of the season who went on to make the World Series. The playoffs might be random but it’s very rare for teams to play poorly for two and a half months and then turn it on to win series against two or three really good teams in a row. The Phillies only had a .500 record during the second half this year so it wasn’t very surprising that they went one and done in the playoffs.
Bu-but, I heard from Phillies commentators the Mets have the worst bullpen ???
What happened there?
They needed to make trades to get some good bullpen arms. They didn’t get it done. Although Bullpen doesn’t matter much when you can’t score runs.
They always had guys on the basepaths. The Phillies bullpen only pitched two 1-2-3 innings that whole series.
It’s unfortunate but I don’t think it’s really a reflection of the overall quality of the bullpen. They did incredible during the regular season. Baseball can be weird. The offense dying hurt us worse.
The spirit of Kimbrel remains
