The team is 8-10 during this stretch in May and has lost four of those games by one run. The other six losses have been by four runs or more. In the four one-run losses the four pitchers listed above have pitched 8.1 innings and given up one run and took the loss. In the eight wins, the group has a win and six saves. During the year the team is 12-1 when tied or leading after six innings.
The Pirates still have many problems, but they may have the most effective bullpen in the majors at the moment. Certainly it's the most cost effective. The total salary of the four guys listed is just a touch over $5 million for 2010.
