The Mess are on fire right now.
This is not a championship level baseball team but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy the ride.
Since the 6-1 start, the pitching has been trash. If that doesn't come around my 90+ win prediction won't be even close. They are scoring more runs than last year but it's hard to win when you are giving the other team a 5 spot every game.
Well, the Kimbrel trade does not hurt if we can't keep a lead.
Kimbrel trade didn't hurt anyway. He blew enough save opportunities last year that there were a number of guys who could have taken his spot and you wouldn't notice a difference. For instance, Grilli is 6 for 6 in saves. He is doing just fine. It's the rest of the bullpen and most of the starters pitching like complete s@#& that is killing this team. 17 walks in 3 games against the Mets. And they are averaging 4.6 walks per 9. Walks will kill you.
It hurts being a braves fan in ny
****! It went from 10-2 to 10-7.
That's ok we are using Chuck Norris stamp approved bats tonight.
The bullpen needs help though. I saw less walks in my sons little league game. Geesh
