6/5/15: GDT - Pittsburgh Pirates @ Atlanta Braves

[NinersSBChamps]

Hopefully some of the delirious people here will realize this team is sewer water garbage. They are much worse than their record indicates. Please don't torment yourselves and think this team is doing anything.

The #Braves bullpen ERA currently rests at 5.01. They haven't had a bullpen ERA north of 5.00 since 1990.

Is that a fat joke, because bravo

Gov slammed home the alley-oop:

He takes a lot more away from the table, too.

So does that mean we will go from worst to first next year?

Thank God we have soooo much power in the 4 hole coming up now.

 

[jsebe10]

And that's why our 4 hole hitter has 14 RBI on the year. Because he doesn't drive in runs

I think I've seen you bitch about Markakis hitting 4th since he was put there and he continues to prove you wrong.

He's hitting .336 in the 4th spot this year.

 

[Braves1976]

Obviously, offense isn't our problem right now. We scored another touchdown tonight and may still score again. This bullpen stinks though for the most part and so does Fredi's usage of it.

are you fckn blind? Are you suggesting that this guy should be hitting 4th?

 

[Braves1976]

Simmons did throw his glove at that ball, lol.

 

[jsebe10]

He's hitting .336 in the 4th spot this year.

It doesn't matter if he's hitting a 1.000 in the 4 hole. Dude is not a game changer in that spot and doesn't drive in runs

 

[Braves1976]

Braves can tie this game back up with a late field goal!

 

[Pugfan]

I don't think Fredi is manager Jesus or anything, but I fail to see how he could assembled this puzzle in any better way.

This bullpen is, quite simply, the worst I have ever seen. Keep Grilli, Johnson, and Avilan and waive the rest. Tonight. Any four posters from this board could fill those slots better.

I agree. impossible to manage this god awful bullpen. Makes the mid to late 80's braves bullpen look like the Nasty Boys

 

[Braves1976]

Hmm, shades of SF there..

 

[jpx7]

Ne Plus pushing that batting-average back up. #tradevalue

 

[Braves1976]

Great AB by Ciriaco. He barely missed a double before that hit too.
