Let's see where the ERA is come All-Star break.

I'm not entirely sold on our new-look pen just yet. I feel there are a few guys filling in roles they either can't or shouldn't. Hopefully it all pans out.

Despite the costly HR given up by Al Reyes last night, the bullpen ERA has dropped to 3.63.

Opposing hitters are batting a combined .218 against the pen. Take away Reyes bad outing earlier. and these #'s would be very impressive.

Last year at this time, the Rays had a bullpen ERA of 6.34, and were being hit at a .318 clip.

Rays are playing bad baseball right now.

Missed cut offs, not throwing out an advancing runner by Riggans, several guys getting picked, catching a deep foul ball allowing the 8th inning go ahead run to score, taking out pitchers on a run in favor of match ups. That was just last night!
