Well that's a self fulfilling stat, because when Arky i down they don't put Kops in. When the game is close or they have a slight lead, the do put him in.

The telling stat would be: W-L record in close when Kopps came in, vs W-L record in games that were close after 5 where Kopps didn't pitch. That would tell you more about how the bullpen would have done without him.

I know they'll have a great O, but honestly it's kinda hard to be scared of Arky last year. They lose their dominant starter and most valuable reliever I've ever seen, and return nobody that's shown they can fill either of those shoes
