This bullpen could very well cost the Astros a WS. So unreliable.
Says every team this year
Yeah not the Yankees. Those guys go like 6 deep that are all reliable and all good
And their starters suck.
Agreed just stating that there is every other bullpen in the league and then the Yankees pen.
They clearly will rely on them heavily in post season but they are super deep
I recall another bullpen in 2017 that the same was said about.
I know your busy kidding but the only people that were saying the Astros bullpen in 2017 was deep and extremely good heading into post season was stat nerds and Astros homers. Giles was melting down, Devo was bad, rondon was left off the roster etc. The last 2 months of season it was clear out BP wasn't as good as the overall season numbers indicated and we had problems heading into October.
Yankees have Chapman, Britton and hale which I don't think the 17' Astros had anyone remotely on those guys level...and dellin betances will be back soon as well.
Now as discussed their starters are sometimes lucky to get through 5 innings so they better have a solid BP bc they will be relying on them to eat 4-5 innings some nights
