The importance of the pen becomes on the closer, set-up guy, and 7th inning guy. You shorten your pen to 4 really good guys and with 3-4 really good starters, including one of the 3-4 best in the game, and your odds are strong. Much different story. You could have a mediocre bullpen because your secondary pieces are bad vs. a pen where the primary pieces are bad. Defense in the post-season also becomes more important due to fewer runs typically being scored in post-season (better pitching staffs push down run production, typically, not to mention fact that you don't face teams #5 starters and the early inning guys in the pen).

I wouldn't say the primary pieces are "bad" but they certainly haven't been "really good" so far this year overall. Some "really good" streaks for the primary pieces with some "really bad" streaks in-between.

that is why i am agreement with you.

 

i am believing that this club, hopefully offers an exciting summer, but i believe they will not keep up a sustainable winning streak.

 

believe me when i say this, but i hope i can be proven wrong come aug or sept.
