Indians bullpen futility
From ESPN.com-

Their rate of failure is almost inconceivable. Fourteen losses for the relievers, most in the AL, and they've surrendered 131 runs, more than the Red Sox and White Sox bullpens combined. Sixteen different pitchers have worked in relief for the Indians this season, and of those, 11 have generated earned-run averages of 6.32 or higher. One of the five who hasn't is Tim Laker, a catcher moved into emergency duty for an inning.

Where does the blame lie? Shapiro has said it's on him, which is astounding considering the amount of buck-passing occurring at the Jake this season.
