Yeah its one those wins that you will take, but not like the way it happened. Soroka deserved better with the performance he had.That game never should have gone extra innings. Braves win though, so all is ok
Jackson's ERA is 13.50. I hope he likes Gwinnett or Pearl or Foot Locker.
I think he was put in a position in which he wasnt suited for. I would prefer him as a lost cause reliever, a situational, or a setup guy. But as a closer he is horrible. His problem is that he tries to fool people, but his job is to throw hard strikes not to be Greg maddux. Look at Sean Doolittle, yeah he just gave away the winning run but look at his WHIP, ERA, and BBs. The point is a closer THROWS STRIKES and lives with the consequences of that task. Jackson and Doolittle may have closer stats before todays games, but find me 10 people out of 100 baseball fans that would take Jackson over Doolittle just by watching the games and I will tell you baseball is truly dead.Jackson's ERA is 13.50.

I wish we could have gotten an ace, but I will take a much better bullpen (which I think we got today and yesterday). We shall see how this all plays out.I think he was put in a position in which he wasnt suited for. I would prefer him as a lost cause reliever, a situational, or a setup guy.

But Paul Byrd is starting to sound dumber and dumber trying to defend this bullpen that I wish Frenchy, Kelsey, Jordan, and Glavine were permant color analysts so Bryd was reduced to getting interviews. Because he is way too Atlanta made biased on his hot takes.
Yeah me too, but I think I would give Alex a B+ on his deals overall because we added 2 capable relievers, another power hitter for the bench, and a good closer. I would've liked one of the Mets pitchers and Diaz, but Im happy with what we got. I just hope there is enough in Gwinnett to field another potential starter, and a better bullpenI wish we could have gotten an ace, but I will take a much better bullpen (which I think we got today and yesterday).

Frenchy grew on me. I did not like him much at first. I prefer Glavine over all of them. I actually prefer Smoltz as a color guy, but so does Fox. I just had the game on my screen but had no sound so I did not hear the talking.

The Astros pulled a major trade. They just got better.
Greene and Martin are having pretty darn good years.No, we didn’t get a started but I think the bullpen just improve by a significant margin. Of course time will tell and they still have to come in and perform but, I feel much better about the bullpen now.
I had not heard about the C until now. Can never have too many quality bench players.
I really think these were the moves this team needed. Now we can set our eyes on more than just a division win. Time to get back to the NLCS and maybe, just maybe, shock the Dodgers.
I know, I’m getting ahead of myself but, I’m pumped right now!
