Is the 2007 Phillies bullpen the main reason for the teams terrible start??
Question:With a bullpen ERA of 3.99 they are 0-5 and have no sign of getting better

Not really. Its the LOBs. They strand so many base runners that its a wonder they win at all. With Myers in the pen and Lieber in the rotation, their pitching will be better, and the pen might just be pretty good. In fact, I would let Myers close and make Gordon a set up man. You might just see that before long.How many people love the Yankees?

I don't think its the only reason although I will say that Tom "Flash" Gordon is well beyond his prime. His curveball doesn't have as much bite as it did at one point and he needs to locate that fastball. I would also say that once all the starters get going they should be fine, though they won't win the division.Whay is a cal ripken jr. autographed baseball worth?
I'd blame a lack of starting pitching before the bullpen. That 0-5 is a bad tag to have, but their 3.99 bullpen ERA is still much better than their 4.77 overall ERA.Adam Eaton and Brett Myers both have 3 starts, and their ERAs are a horrendous 6.62 and 8.31. Freddy Garcia and Zack Segovia each have had a start, and both performed badly. Moyer and Hamels are doing their part, but the other starters are 1-5 between them. Gordon and Madsen are struggling (Madsen is a chronic underperformer) but the rest of the bullpen is pitching pretty well.
I think their bullpen will be fine - and 3.99 over a full season isn't a bad number - but it's their starters that need to turn it around. If Lieber doesn't do any better than Myers in the rotation, and if Eaton continues to stink, it could be a long season for the Phils.
What does the "infield fly" rule mean?
i blame gillick for notn getting a bullpenWill the Red Sox win 117 games this season.?
I think their starting pitching has hurt them as well because Freddy Garcia is not as good as they thought he was, and Brett Myers was dumped to the bullpen. Plus, Howard and Chase Utley have not hit yet. I will not cry about that idiot Jimmy Rollins. I guess the Mets being 3-1 over Philadelphia so far has got him quiet about the Phillies being the team to beat.More Questions & Answers...
