Bullpen Problems
For the second night in a row, the Blue Jays bullpen blew the game:
The Yankee game saw B.J. Ryan give up a walk-off homer. Last night, a pair of bullpen lesser lights - Brian Tallet and Armando Benitez - suffered a similar fate in the eighth inning, and the Jays fell even harder than the night before.
Tallet gave up a run-scoring single, then a two-run homer, and Benitez gave up a solo shot and another two-run homer.
Benitez has lost the ability to prevent hits despite keeping his K rate high. Through 2004 he allowed 5.9 hits per nine. Since then, it's up to 8.4 hits per nine.
