There is a case of the sword being mightier than the pen - the O's pen has been terrible.

You were wrong about them being under .500 by June 1. They were 23-23. Obviously, you've got some work to do on your prognosticating. :D

They actually had the best bullpen in the league until they started wearing down. If you put Rodrigo back in the pen and got five inning eating starters, they'd be an excellent bullpen.

Pretty close. Looks like the slide below .500 has begun. I agree with you about Rodrigo. He fills a good bullpen role. DeJean has been a total disaster, as has most everyone else save BJ Ryan and Julio. Groom is hugely overused. See my point about their young pitching? To be fair, they still have the best pitching pipeline right now in the bigs, but most of those guys need another year or two.
