    A little less worried with AA robbing the O's of a closer type arm to upgrade the bullpen.

    Much better. Upgraded team, and taken advantage SO FAR this week of an easier schedule

That didn’t happen, or at least they didn’t happen in time to avoid playing catch up.

    I’m more worried that the pitching hasn’t taken a clear step forward. The Braves invested the bulk of their player acquisition assets into pitching for 3-4 years, and they still don’t have a proven foundation of a playoff caliber rotation. That is a serious problem, and getting someone like Archer isn’t going to fix it.
