Those 2 ER, though, blew the save and got him the loss.

It's a lot more important 2 runs than a starter who gives up two runs in the first inning and has his team trailing 2-0.

Carpenter pitched well enough to give his team a great chance to win.

Rodney took a game that was practically won and turned it into a loss.

You're just looking at IPs and ERs allowed.

But, as I said....

I would agree that the RP is "overly-penalized" with the -6 for the blown save and the -6 for the loss.

6 of Rodney's -13 are from the BS.
