    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.
    Good pitchers give up runs. Jackson has been good for us. The last two innings he's given up runs and maybe 1 hard hit ball.

    The issue is we do not have enough good pitchers despite investing in pitchers more than anyone else in baseball.

    I still think they need to use Newk and Touki for 2-3 innings and that will shorten up the number of bad pitchers we use. I'm not into spending a ton of resources on the pen but we should be able to make some deals for upgrades.

    Demerrite and Duvall should get us some pen help.

    That sounds good until you look into specifics. Newk tonight for 2 innings shuts him down for tomorrow. Touki for 2 innings Thurs shuts him down for Fri. After 2 times of 2 IP, they will both probably be unavailable the next days. They can only throw so many innings over a short period of time. So after both are used up for a couple of days you're right back to all the others who have not proven that they are consistent or have the confidence of the fans.

    Jackson did not pitch bad, just bad luck, the only issue, he needed that K.

    Jackson's blown save has blown me out of starting GDTs for awhile. Lineups are posted on several different sites for over an hour. New lineup but unfortunately still some hitters in wrong spots.

    Isn't it about time for Aerch Angle to start a GDT???

    I am not good at it.

    And it is not your fault, seeing eye singles to lose, it happens.

    just read the manual in the technical help section...you can do it...si se puede
    "I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

    "I am your retribution."

    Wright has given up 11 ER in 14 IP. Wilson has given up 4 ER in 4.1 IP. 10 day options don't add much.

    No thank you.

    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?
