Maybe I should have worded my post differently. 10 runs is not really important. Getting blown out in a game that was close before the going to the pen is my point. There have been plenty of games that were close until the bullpen took over. In a game against Toronto the Twins were ahead 1-0 after 5 innings, a game in which Gray gave up 1 hit, Toronto scored 9 in the last 4 innings and won 9-3. They lost 11-10 to Cleveland in a game the pen gave up 7 in the last 3 innings. Against Houston they never had the lead but the pen gave up 6 in the 6th, pretty much eliminating any chance to win. They lost 11-3. They blew 7-3 lead against the Yankees, losing 10-7. They gave up 6 runs in the 8th vs the Dodgers and lost 7-2. They lost 8-1 to Boston and the bullpen again gives up 6 in the 8th. Forgive my laziness but I just threw out 10 as an arbitrary number, because my point was the bullpen takes them out of games they could or should have won.
