Mike Soroka gets his first start of 2019.

Maybe we can win one. Maybe not.

We have a great bullpen. Everything is fine.

Good thing we kept it close for 5 innings. 85 pitches for Soroka.

Mother fricker. Start sending these losers down to AAA. Sabotka and Biddle can't hit the zone

I said something similar today, a bulk shipment down to AAA, bring up the prospects. Sabotka has a 12.38 ERA and is playing in a Major League Baseball game right now.

This was the agreed upon bullpen that Braves upper management signed off on.

I'm already tired of watching this same shitshow every game and we're only in game 18. Wasting one of the best offenses in the NL and so far the starters have been great. The road to .500 is paved with shitty bullpen play

frick this team man... we legit have a world series team here besides the pen.

We keep saying this, but it just fricking blows my mind that we did absolutely nothing to improve it.

And AA joking about a member of his staff joining in on the Kimbrel chants the other day pissed me off even more. It's like they dont even give a frick

Nah frick upper management. They saw this same pen last year and told us we had to accept it again this year. And now we're about to be swept at home.

As a direct result of a shitty pen.

Apparently we're giving up on an MLB season as not to squander a draft pick

Exactly. I have no doubts everyone on this team gives 110%. I just think an entire section of the team isn't MLB quality. It just so happens that it's a very important part that loses a lot of games for us.

We all said this 7 months ago. Bullpen would have to be addressed if a World Series run was to become possible. AA did nothing.

We currently have 4 guys in today's lineup batting over .300, and Ozzie is at .293. We have the offense to keep up with anyone.

Yep. That's what sucks. It'll eventually lead to our hitters taking a worse approach knowing they have to score more runs to win games.
