The thing that gets me is that if you wanted to get  good relief pitchers, they might like the idea of playing half of their games in what is generally considered - rightly or wrongly - a pitcher’s ballpark. But that just doesn’t seem to happen.

Maybe there just aren’t that many good relief pitchers and they’re mercurial and flame out anyway.

After all, almost relief pitchers are just failed starters. (and Jansen, cruelly, is the exception of the rule). I just wish there was a real way we could buy our way out of this situation.

Jansen has given up 3 walk-off dingers now. I don't recall that happening in such a short span in my lifetime. I remember when a Diamondback reliever (Kim?) gave up 2 in the world series in 2001. Glad I worked late and missed it
