As Bob Costas would say, "He's not a fireman....He's an arsonist."Atlanta’s bullpen is awful! Not going very far if Jackson is the closer.

11-2 after 6 2/3 with Teheran... and the relievers give up 6 in two innings. The hope is that with Martin coming on board that he will at least throw strikes. Is Minter done? What role will Jackson have?Sickening!

It is simply amazing how we are able to continue to win games with this bad of a bullpen. We often get exposed quickly with better teams and I don't see us advancing the in playoffs if we don't improve here.
I hope not .... that should have been evident for a while.Do you think Snitker left Jackson in last night to make a statement to AA to get busy on getting bullpen help?
Feel sorry for Soroka who pitched a gem. Bullpen gives up three runs in two innings to tie the game. Not sure why Snitker put Jackson in in the ninth ... got yanked after two got on base. Braves SURVIVED the ninth ... and Donaldson’s home run in the tenth was the difference... but only after a Tomlin-anxiety-inducing bottom of the tenth. ... btw, is it necessary for the camera to focus on Tomlin’s chewing wad after every pitch? Revolting ...If you are planning on watching today's game on replay, pour a strong drink before and make it a double.
Saw that ... that bullpen needs help!They are saying we are close to a deal with Shane Greene!

I was hoping we would see a new reliever or two last night ..... but I will take the win.Well...that's one way to avoid a late-inning collapse!
Wow! Greene has been a major disappointment in his two appearances... seven hits and four runs! One blown save yesterday and a likely loss today. That’s the closer they worked to get?
Don’t have the pitching to do well against LA. ... Now maybe Greene recovers from this disappointing start ... but I did not see much to suggest he is a dominant closer, despite his low ERA with Detroit. We still have questions with the starting rotation.Awful start for Greene and here I was hoping to make a run at LA.
Camargo is 5 for his last 42 ... yikes!
Despite the ump, Soroka has pitched another outstanding game.I'm not one to complain about the ump too much but this one sucks!
I was tempted to think an 11-0 lead was sufficiently safe ...
Yesterday was the anniversary of the Indians overcoming a 12-run deficit to win a game back in '01, and MLB network was showing highlights yesterday morning. I was afraid that history might be repeating itself for awhile last night.LOL or cry!
I'm not sure which emotion is appropriate here.
I know ... bullpen is always an adventure.Uh oh...Here we go.
