Yeah the Braves have taken some really bad beatings lately. They were -4 before todays game.
A split in Colorado and a series win vs a good Angels team. Are we really doing as poor right now as we all imagine?
Nope. If we can put enough runs on the board to rest the BP vs the Phils, we're looking pretty good IMO.
Things could be worse.

We'd be in really good shape if our bullpen had held in its appearances. This team is just so close to the edge of taking off and you can just feel it...but it just hasnt quite happened yet...
Yeah, once the middle relief gets addressed we'll take off. When is Venters coming back."?
Aside from this "set back" that he had...I think they are targeting some time after the all-star break I believe... Still kind of too much to trust into him though...I wouldn't pin the fate of our BP on the back of Venters

What is bothering me is every time it looks like the team is going to go on a roll they crap the bed in the next series.
Sweep the cubs
Lose 4 of 6 to cards/giants
Win 5 of 7 from brewers/rockies
Lose 4 straight to red sox
Sweep the marlins
Lose 4 of 5 to mariners/dbags
Win 4/7 vs angels/rockies
Can we go 3 series in a row without ****ting the bed in one of them please.

I agree, its really frustrating me. We added a good hitting 2b, a great setup man in Simmoms, amd Heywood is hitting like an MVP amd are still struggling to win and score runs. This is a really good team on paper, how we only have 4 more wins than the Astros boggles my mind.

I just don't understand why we aren't at least seeing Heyward, JUP, Freeman, Gattis, TLS, CJoh, BJ, Simba.
He has hits like The Enterprise had tribbles. Like Carter had pills. Lots of them.
What do you think of this?
Wade Boggs.
A lot of it is bullpen related. BJ sucks, but it's not the same as his epic 2013 suckage. And Uggla got buried a month ago. The hitting's not bad and getting better. The starters leveled out - still good - but the bullpen has been pretty awful. Carpenter, Walden, Avilan, Wood, even Kimbrel hasn't been historic. Simmons helps. Hale until last night. Patch some holes there, particularly on the left, and I expect we'll be right back in the hunt. But we're going to need a move.
Didn't the Governor propose this two weeks ago?
Oh, yeah. That's fan-****ing-tastic.
The throw from short is longer. If you can handle short, you can handle third.
Was hoping we were going to see a bear mauling when Pujos had to change his tampon there in the 9th. Would be great to sweep Philly before a big series in Washington. Would also be great to see TLS moved up in the lineup...play Rolling Stones "you can't always get what you want."
Doesn't it feel like The White Bear is really starting to find his way? I can't believe he's just a hit or 2 away from .300 and btw, I liked the way he protected Carpenter from Pujols today.
A game like last night is why Heyward cannot be let go. His contributions outside the box score are too important. He's our best player.
But I'm told he's not that much better than Freddie defensively.
