Braves decide to use all remaining draft picks on relievers.

I did some research and it took a while to go through every game but check this out...

The Braves bullpen has blown a lead in 14 of (now) 57 games. Let that sink in.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Why was Miller pulled in the 7th after only throwing 94 pitches???? I mean you try to give Fredi the benefit of the doubt with what he has to work with and he even say's "I'm still figuring out what works best as we struggle" but his decisions have been nothing short of atrocious. Simply pathetic.

What are you talking about? This team is literally a manager and a decent bullpen away from being in the division lead...

Piggy backing off our earlier debate, we could use a clean up hitter on the roster.

Cody Martin posted a 1.54 ERA (2 ER/11.2 IP) w/14 K over his first 10 appearances.

In 11 appearances since, 9.90 ERA (11 ER/10 IP) w/10 K

Lol. For sure.

 

[Braves1976]

The most frustrating thing is the ranting and raving about players who are not really doing anything. Like Jace Peterson. Like Cody Martin. Im fine with the rebuild. But people want to pretend we have found a bunch of answers after 60 games. We have a ton of holes.

Jace Peterson has nothing to do with Cody Martin and last I checked him and Maybin got us the lead tonight. Peterson has played great defense at second and has two hits tonight.

And was this after he was just randomly sent down to Gwinnette for some odd reason?

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Don't think I want to watch this

 

[Braves1976]

Whoa--we wouldn't have been able to pinch hit with Joey T. if we hadn't pulled Miller.

Haha, that was a good one.

No its not. That is quite the rosy view. We are undermanned at almost every position. Fredi sucks, but managers do not effect the win column that much.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Kimbrel's 200th save comes against the Braves.

 

[Braves1976]

Braves gave away another winnable game..

Whoa...talk trash about this bullpen all you want!! But Peterson, Maybin and Nick have all played well on what would be a first place team with a solid pen.

Figures.

Like where? I count catcher, and arguably right field.

If you can't see how much his managing has negatively affected this team...then you must have front row tickets to the Charlie XCX post game concert

I don't think Fredi did much wrong tonight.

Could have left Shelby in for another inning. He was cruising. Low stress pitches.
