A Broken Record

At least the Dodgers have been consistent lately. Another game of two or fewer runs scored, another great start and no decision by Zach Greinke, and another implosion by the Dodgers bullpen equals another Dodgers loss.

During this past off season the Dodgers tried to piece together their bullpen with young arms and veteran cast offs. That worked pretty well for the first month of the season and then injuries hit and the young arms started struggling and veteran cast offs reminded us of why they were cast offs.

I don't think a trade is possible at this point. Middle relief pitching is at a premium in Major League Baseball. Just about every team out there needs arms. The Dodgers could about fill out an entire staff with just what is on the Disabled list. I would hate to give up any of the Dodgers young positional talent for a middle reliever. I don't know of anyone that has ever said middle relieving wins championships but it sure does bridge the gap between the starters and the closer.
