The Braves just want to go ahead and get that first one run win of the year out of the way.

Does anyone else feel some trepidation about the effectiveness of our bullpen?

Boyer did the same thing last year when we blew those big leads. He’s not ready for this spot.

Yes, that was a d*ck move by me. I understand that scouts’ opinions are posted online.
Sorry for that.

The gametracker is showing pitches in the strike zone as balls. Is it that bad?

you have to bring in someone who can throw strikes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a situation where 2 guys both couldn’t get the ball over the plate.
That’s just bizarre.

I would rather see 5 consecutive home runs. These guys are pitching spinelessly. DOB, in a poll of fans the bullpen was voted the biggest weakness of the team. Where are you coming from.
Jake W.

We needed one inning to bridge the gap between Vazquez and Soriano and Gonzalez. 3 pitchers have combined for 1 out and 5 runs.

UnBELIEVABLE. 10-3 and now 10-8. How many hits this inning. two I think. We are in deep kimshi if they can’t throw strikes with a 7 run lead. What are they going to do in a one run game!!
Marc

Why the f**k would you start the inning with your lefty reliver…Why not bring in Carlyle who was lights out in spring training. The game is 10-3 and he is your long man…Let him throw 3 innings and you are done…

This is definitely frustrating…Too eerily similiar to meltdowns of last year and the year prior… 7 Run lead? Come on guys!! I hate to watch us beat ourselves by not throwing the ball over the freaking plate!

Well. SOS. Looks like its going to be just like last year. With goofball Cox trying to manage an inept bullpen. So much for early season optimism. This will be the beginnging of the end.

You guys are all idiots…its three games after Spring…relax! Yes we’re blowing it, no it’s not the end of the road…do you think our offense is gonna kill like it has every game? Or are SP is gonna roll with a .50 ERA all year? Relax!

You would have to wonder with 7 run lead whether the BP coach didn’t keep the relievers focused on the game. Sure doesn’t look like they were.
