Bullpen is a crapshoot

If there is one big negative for the Royals in this opening series, it was the bullpen. On opening day, the pen almost blew a 5-0 lead by allowing three runs in the 9th. They also allowed three runs in the 7th on Saturday. The group allowed two runs on Sunday as well. Worst of all, it was a different pitcher struggling every single day. If the Royals want to surprise some people and compete, there needs to be better performances from that group.
