A tale of two bullpens

Remember when the Rockies bullpen was performing as one of the best in the league? I don’t, and they may not either.

Through the first two weeks of the season the back end was lights out - leading the majors with an ERA of 0.68, earning saves in four games, and wins in four. Since then? Well the regression has been steep.

Most of these stats are redundant. If a bullpen strands 97.2% of runners on base, the group is going to have success. If a bullpen strands 58.7% of runners, they’re not.
