Blown Saves & Ineffective RP's

Bajecco · 04-26-2014, 08:39 PM

Anyone noticing an exorbitant and unrealistic amount of blown saves? I have 4 & 5 star closers combining to blow 30+ saves EVERY year. In my current season I'm 26-14 with 12 friggin blown saves taking place after the 8th inning. 7 consecutive seasons of this. My bullpen is routinely filled with very talented pitchers yet every year I'm last in BP ERA.

Love the game. It's a blast, but this chronic late inning collapse of the bullpen thing is silly.

Try setting up your team and individual pitcher strategy to qucker pulls.

Not noticed this before. I just checked. I have 443 BS vs 583 BS IRL, So actually I have not enough BS in my leagues. I think pitching is a little too good. The average BS per team IRL is 19 for the past few years. Getting 30 per year is high for any one team. What is the total BS in your league

Check your defense. I've found that starting pitchers can pitch their way around bad defenses, but relievers seem more vulnerable to them.

Nah, it's probably Sandy Alderson or Paul DePodesta
