Sure they are going to be better than a 10+ ERA lol. Hopefully the regression will come at the right time. Not sure if giving up prospects was worth 3 bullpen arms that will end up with a ~4.00 combined ERA, even if the prospects werent considered much. We will all sing a different tune if they can get outs in the playoffs. Thats kinda just the nature of the beast, its unfair but....

Through the first 20 combined appearances, their combined ERA is 11.74, WHIP 2.28. Can only get better from here, can't possibly get any worse.
Current BABIP's as Braves:
Greene- .579
Melancon- .526
Martin- .467
This is still absolutely ridiculous. Over half the balls put in play against these guys are finding grass.

For the season BABIP against our pitchers is .305.
Meanwhile, for the season our hitters have a BABIP of .309.
BABIP is not something to worry about. It is something to look at to understand if short-term fluctuations in results are just that or symptoms of something that is real and needs addressing.

The starting pitching and offense has been incredible. If we can get the pen even somewhat stable then we can roll. But as soon as that happens the offense and/or starters will crap the bed
Coppy
Before this disappears into the ether some updated numbers on the news guys as Braves:
Melancon 12.3 K rate, 1.2 BB rate, .458 BABIP, 0.90 FIP, 1.44 xFIP
Martin 12.2, 1.4, .389, 2.92, 2.46
Greene 9.8, 2.5, .500, 5.40, 3.76
