Bacon Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Let's be honest with ourselves. Hudson is the closer now. Let Doolittle serve as a lefty matchup and don't force him to carry the load for a bit. Or just straight up IL him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Also, credit to Doolittle: that **** was over against Votto. Kurt gets partial credit for that last run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Parra misplayed the ball in the outfield too. BUt still, Doo has not been sharp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again the All star break bought us like one good appearance from him so who knows if 10 days off will do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once every three games or so, lower leverage situations, with a focus on lefties. Wouldn't hurt him to start using off speed stuff more often either. That's just called aging gracefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it wasn’t Shane Greene though.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His peripherals suggested "fairly effective reliever" not "lockdown closer..." Atlanta didn't overpay for him too much I don't think, but there shouldn't have been an expectation that he was going to continue to be one of the top closers in baseball the rest of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Relievers in general are so volatile--I really don't like giving up premium players for what's essentially a "bench-pitcher" Â The Braves big three acquisitions at the deadline: Chris Martin: 10.38 ERA Mark Melancon: 9.82 ERA Shane Greene: 11.82 ERA Â The Nats: Strickland: 1.93 Hudson: 1.69 Elias: 0.00 (he needs to get back right quick) Â Granted this is all extreme small sample...
