Discuss amongst yourselves

After the tag-team of Donnelly and Shields combined to blow tonight's game, the Angels bullpen has an era of 7.94 over the past seven games (17 IP, 15 ER, 19 H, 14 BB, 18 SO). Is this simply a bump in the road, or the first signs of an impending bullpen collapse?

Comments:


I think it is a little of both. The bullpen will pitch much better than it has lately, but it isn't going to replicate the first two months of the season. Instead of three dominant set-up guys, like in years past, we now have 1.5 (shield, and Donnelly, who I believe is slipping). I wouldn't expect much out of Woods and Peralta or Bootcheck, though certainly all three have pitched well in limited roles.
