My biggest issue is between MLB and High A with have 17-18 young starters with buzz and good to immense trade value. You can't even field 18 pitchers on a roster let alone starters. find 5-7 that you are comfort trading and start improving the big club.

What's the point of robbing Albies blind if we can't throw some money at Kimbrel?

Yes, the bullpen sucks, but unfortunately what else can we do other than cycle through arms within the organization? Look at the big name relievers who signed... Robertson, Kelly, Miller, Britton, etc. They are all doing terrible. Throwing money at relievers is risky because a lot of them are not consistent. The one I wanted the braves to look at most was Ottavino, who signed for 3/27. He seemed to turn it around last year, but even he’s had ups and downs throughout his careers. It’s hard finding consistent middle relievers these days. The braves need a complete overhaul. If O’Day has anything left, that’d be great. Also, maybe some of our excess starters can be put in the pen. And of course, there are always trades later on down the road.

Guess who's back! Jackson sent back to AAA (not the pitcher but I see why he's a minor league suspect):

Awesome. So glad we kept him on roster.

Soroka expected to start Thursday

I'm glad he's coming up, really like that guy. So he's taking Touki's start on Thursday afternoon? Is Touki getting pushed back to the Cleveland series or something? Whichever Brave pitcher is starting Friday night is going to be against Kluber.
Saw this on Braves twitter, AA's bullpen excuses: “There’s been a ton of turnover from the beginning of camp until now. We’re going to look to do what we can both internally and externally.” - #Braves GM Alex Anthopolous on state of the bullpen.
Every single replier said "Uh sign Craig Kimbrel" like the AA guy is reading random twitter responses or maybe they think the low level Braves office person doing the actual twitter messages can bring Kimbrel to town.

Braves are up 2-0 thanks to McCann, Bmac bringing the RBI's home.

2-1 in the 4th, Gausman gave up a solo homer.

Minter current ERA 9.64
Posted on 4/17/19 at 9:14 pm to dudeabides
Ozzie saving minters arse right there. 2 hits given up by emotional Minter.
Posted on 4/17/19 at 9:15 pm to Rhino5
He was scary as hell in the 9th but didn't give any runs up. Come on Braves it's tied in the bottom of the 9th.

I said last year I didn't like Biddle. I still don't like him. He needs a huge cushion to pitch well.
Posted on 4/17/19 at 9:40 pm to Rhino5
Biddle is garbage. Snit should've taken him out. Perhaps that incompetent frick stick Anthopolous will find bullpen help.
Posted on 4/17/19 at 9:40 pm to Rhino5
Biddle is a liar

The Braves have got to have the worst chances to win in extra innings in the MLB. It's all bullpen all the time.
