Listen "Bullpen Blues"
Episode Synopsis
Good thing the Phillies are in Colorado this weekend, the way the bullpen is pitching, the Phils need all the runs they can get. Almost spoiling a grand slam by Utley last night, Julio Santana decides to give up 4 runs and almost blow the game in the 8th. To make matters worse, the only way the Rockies didn't tie the game is because of a great throw from center field by Shane Victorino. Consider this: we all know the Phils are off to a shaky start, it's to be expected with some clubs and usually with the Phillies. However, the bullpen has a combined ERA of 4.88 and a record of 1-2. I'm not saying the starting pitching is any better at this point but when you take a 6 run lead into the 9th inning you would think that even in Colorado that is enough of a margin for a sure victory. The starting pitching needs to improve, we can all agree on that, however unless the bullpen gets better, this is going to be a long year from the 6th inning on.
