I don't care if they have a *come from behind* mentality. As long as they win! This team has always scored better in later innings. Not saying that's necessarily good. It just is what it is.
In order to sustain a "comeback kids" mentality, you have to have a bullpen that holds up. More times than not this team will lose the close game b/c of their deficient bullpen. Look at last yrs numbers they lost 2/3 of their games decided by 2 runs or less. They won 2/3 of their games decided by 3 runs or more.
