Cubs back on top with a 9th inning rally off of that Nats bullpen. lol

Baez single, La Stella RBI hit, Jay 2-RBI double. Sandwiched in there was a shoulda-woulda-coulda 1-out double play chance that Daniel Murphy wasn't able to turn

Imagine if this Nats team had Houston's bullpen? How many more wins might that be worth?

Re: 6/26 - 7/9 Game Discussion Thread

The Nats bullpen might be worse than the Brewers. Scary.

LOL @ Nats bullpen...if Mike Rizzo isn't on the phone every day working for relief help he's a fool.

They've signed K-Rod and might add Jason Grille to shore things up.

Bandaids...those guys aren't going to be difference makers. They need a Chapman/Miller type acquisition. I just don't know if any impact reliever like that is available this year.

Because taking guys not good enough for Detroit and Toronto's bullpens is the way to go. I hope you are being sarcastic.

They also signed Kevin Jepsen I think. He used to pitch for the Rays.

Re: 6/26 - 7/9 Game Discussion Thread

I'm still surprised the Braves even tried this experiment especially at the cost

The signing was stupid...$12MM+ for a 44-year old pitcher.

C'mon, Copp. You should've know better than this.

Re: 6/26 - 7/9 Game Discussion Thread

I don't see the problem with signing Bartolo. The Braves weren't contending this year or signing any big money guys anyway. A modest 1-year deal doesn't set them back much, if any.

Re: 6/26 - 7/9 Game Discussion Thread

$12MM is modest? Trout makes $15MM/year.

No no no no I've been assured by smarter baseball fans that bullpens and closers are overrated.


....if you eliminate all the failures by Colon and Dickey this year, the Braves might be 6 or 7 games better and in the thick of things in the East and "The Rebuild (tm)" would be more progressed.
