Lately they are getting what they need in the form of a stronger more balanced bullpen. Their new advantage became apparent this weekend when the bomber pen threw 11 innings while striking out 14 and giving up only a single run.
On August 7th Joba Chamberlain was brought up and the bullpen received a facelift. With Joba's heat, Edwar Ramirez's change-up, and Luis Vizcaino's slider playing a larger roll, the pen is more versatile. Instead of relying on Farnsworth he is now just a supporting cast member helping the team out when he can.
'Now we have different things we can bring in, sliders, changeups,' Torre said in the Post. 'So I think it helps to not give the same look all the time.'
