Oakland, sd and minn's bullpens arent put in the same pressure situations obviously as the yanks or phils. Of course they are lights out...during the regular. The yankees bullpen over the second half of the season was awesome. Hughes was looking like the "bridge to Mo". The playoffs expose everyone.

And I don't understand how the yanks bullpen was so costly. Who was expensive really besides MO?

Yeah sure. Only in NY or Philly is there pressure. LOL.

I mean why not always give an answer with no tangible way to measure? For middle relief pitchers the pressure is the same regrdless of where or when you pitch because most of them are a few bad outings from being gone. More pressure to pitch in NY or more pressure to pitch for your job?

At the very least you could have pointed out that Oak and SD are very favorable towards pitchers and Philly and NY obviously arent.
