    Correct. Stop treating Jackson like he's a closer. We don't have one. He had 2 strikes on 3 straight hitters and couldn't put any of them away.

    I agree, we knew after the luck extended the inning that this was going to happen.

    I have never felt comfortable with him in the game. He had a great run; but if we're counting on him closing games, congrats Phillies

    This is what happens when the guy you were counting on to close games gets injured (now traded) and nobody else steps up to take the closer role. The minute the draft is over, talks better be starting with Kimbrel.

    It’s really hard to sweep a 4 game series against any team, but this is an inexcusable loss, even if Jackson did get a bit unlucky. Not bringing Newcomb in to face Panik is a major tactical error that can’t be allowed.

    Start??? They better have a deal in place, and the minute the draft is over they better get on the phone to shoot the **** and pretend to negotiate before they come to terms about twenty minutes later. Ok maybe not twenty minutes. They need to make it look like they waited. 30 minutes.

    Didn’t stay up. Sounds like two blown saves in a row with bad luck? Panda infield hit?

    San Fran sucks. Bad in the of. Good in the pen. Wouldn’t they be interested in Duvall or demerits?

    These games are starting to pile up. We would easily have four or five more wins at this point. I know this happens from time to time with all teams, but this is beginning to very common.

    Even think about the games we have won (like the Brewers putting up eight runs in the last two innings).

    Snit has tried to avoid bringing Newk in during the middle of an inning and has tried to avoid using him on consecutive days. But with just two lefties in the pen he's gonna have to push the envelope.

    So glad AA improved the pen this offseason. Think where we'd be if he'd just completely ignored the pen all offseason.

    3 lefties, right? New guy is in there isn't he?

    Sure we're ONLY 2.5 games out, but that's after winning 8 of 10 before last night. This pen is simply not good (regardless of what recent numbers suggest) and very lucky when at it's absolute best.

    For those defending the pen, name the guys YOU honestly feel comfortable with in the 8th and 9th (having Newk not walk guys for a few appearances doesn't exactly qualify).
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Pen is fine. I think last night was a bit unlucky again for Jackson. Also think the sequencing of pitches was poor. Jackson also missed about 4 high fastballs that were non competitive. I agree that Newk should have been brought in for pancake. I trust our pen just know they are not going to be lock down.

    Just take these next two and move on. We out played them for 8 innings and failed to close the deal.

    Didn't stay up for the end of the game. Just watched the 8th and 9th innings. Another blown save for Jackson. That makes 13 saves in 21 chances so far this season. 8 losses from relievers!! I don't like loosing, especially when winning entering the 9th.


    Just a question for all of the Kimbrel nay voters. Do you enjoy watching the Braves lose games in the 9th inning because they don't have a "closer"? And really haven't had one who instills confidence for several years. Jackson has tried very hard but he is not a "dominate" closer.
