    Maybe, but I can still argue the other way. Especially when the Braves are failing the class in 2021.

    Are they? Snitker has tried to do what you like and extend the starters a 3rd time through and there was a 2 week period where it failed literally every game.

    It is all he can do with a steaming pile that is the pen. There is not a single arm that can be counted on more than once a week. Put the weight on the starters, Give the best shot to win.

    That's the thing. Every available piece of data suggests that letting the starter see the lineup a third time isn't the best shot to win.

    That "steaming pile that is the pen" is EXACTLY the same group of guys that were "world-beaters" in 2020 minus Melancon.

    Seriously dude, give up.

    Nevermind - he's just trolling now - time to let it go.

    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?

    Not trolling just bringing the truth. That's always been the problem with this fanbase. Slap a Braves logo on it and it is all good. And yes the bullpen is a steaming pile.

    Right. We never criticize the Braves here at Chop Country.
