GDT 6/22/19: Swatting Gnats

Its a testament to the offense that the Braves continue to win as the team searches for answers in the rotation and BP.

I honestly don’t know how they are going to maintain patience with the pitching staff much longer.

Bullpen has been OK as of late. But the rotation is a huge concern, AA is gonna have to add another rotation guy.
 
Rosenthal for the Nats has been a disaster of a signing. He keyed tonight's Nats loss walking the bases loaded too.
 
I'd IL folty and bring up an extra reliever till folty's spot comes up again and use Wilson for a spot start . See how it goes and go from there

if newk is demoted to the pen for his start as we saw earlier this season, then folty after tonight should be too. Just a matter of who you replace him with.

It is but I feel like we have a lot of the pieces we need. I feel good about Soroka and Keuchel. Fried and Teheran should be alright on the back end. I wish we had another middle of the rotation starter or better since I don’t trust Folty at this point. I think Soroka, Fried and Teheran May regress from early in the season but will still be fine.

The bullpen really isn’t bad with Newcom and Touki out there. Swarzak was a great pickup, Minter has improved Dayton looks decent, and Jackson looks solid although he makes me nervous as a closer. One more high leverage guy would be nice but it’s not urgent any more.

We need one quality starter and for some guys to get going again. We’ve had some rough outings lately even by the good ones but it’s fortunate our hitting has been red hot.

Theoretically, this offense should be taking some pressure off of the starters. A quality start becomes 4 runs.
