A Royal Pain

By , 9/22/2009 6:48 am

It happened again, a rarity in 2009.  Last night’s debacle was a loss that could be pinned squarely on the shoulders of the bullpen.  Yeah, the same ‘pen I claimed was “among the best ever” in a recent post.  All other parties involved (the starting pitcher, the offense) did their job against Kansas City, except for a handful of relievers who were uncharacteristically awful.

Manny Delcarmen, in particular, has not been very good of late.

ERA Walks / 9 IP Hits / 9 IP
Delcarmen on the Road, 2009 5.55 6.66 11.84
Delcarmen After the All Star Break, 2009 7.25 6.45 10.48

Yeah, I know he’s form JP or Hyde Park or wherever. When the playoffs start and the team flies to Anaheim, he might be watching the game from there.
