Bad luck? š This is a repeat of last year's pitching debacle so far. I'm sick of it already.

Winans allows SEVEN runs thru 3. AAA might be a good place for him. Heās part of that āorganizational depthā we have with pitchers. Just like last year we have 4, 5, or 6 of these guys we can keep cycling up and down from AAA hoping one of them gets better. Or two of them if Sale goes down with an injury. Itās Groundhog Day all over again.

Just for the record, I was against the Murphy trade from the start. Contreras is an excellent hitter and appears to be only getting better. The greatest irony is that at first he was so bad defensively we tried playing him in LF, and last year he ranked #1 in all of baseball defensively among catchers, he improved so much. Doh! Gonna guess Sargent Shrivelednuts didnāt think he was one of them baseball player guys. Just wait until our media starts leaning on management over that trade. Oh wait, monkeys will fly out of Snitkers butt before that happens.

Guys that lift too much always seem to be injury prone.

You send a horrible starter to the mound and horrible things often happen. I've seen this movie before, and I'm tired of watching it. It's like the Braves have this blind faith that somehow, some way, some dude that isn't even a prospect is suddenly gonna become a major league pitcher. It's ridiculous and really quite embarrassing for what is otherwise a model franchise.

Well, because that's what he's told to call it.
And the problem isn't as much trying to go out in April and find a decent pitcher as it is not making yourself so vulnerable during the offseason. Now it's even more crucial than ever that Sale stay healthy.
And speaking for myself I was never saying we should add #1 pitchers during the offseason, just some reliable low risk major league arms.

Expecting every pitching prospect you have to provide major league value is a poor strategy, and it seems that's what we're hoping to happen. It's frustrating to have this fantastic core and to be looking at the same thing happening this year that happened last year. Hopefully, that won't be the case.

Meanwhile Brandon Marsh hits his 4th home run while Acuna is waiting to hit his first... Unbelievable.

Winans sent DOWN after the game. The juggling act begins again two weeks into the season. Hang on for the ride.
