Interesting Jeremy Affeldt analysis
"In San Francisco's 90 losses in 2008, the Giants bullpen failed its primary responsibility 50 times. The bullpen entered the game with a lead or less than a four run deficit 50 TIMES and either surrendered it or let the game get out of hand.
In San Francisco's 72 wins, the bullpen surrendered the lead three times only to have the Giants recover in time to win the game.
So, in 2008, the San Francisco Giants bullpen was a relevant vulnerability in 53 of 158 games (the starters threw four complete games). Ugh. That's a pretty gnarly problem."

A four run deficit, with our offense, is already out of hand.

technically
It says less than 4, although I guess 3 runs is usually our of reach anyway.
Less arm, more talk. Raisingcain is a GAMER.

Hell, being down by one run was too big of a hole for the offense to climb out of numerous times last season.
