Well, even though the starting pitching situation has waded in and out between panic and pleasure, the bullpen has been solid over the past month. I guess I really can’t complain when we have one of the top two or three team ERA’s in the NL, but it’s a bit more sketchy than it started out. Anyway, the bullpen has been great, and it is going to get better. In the next few days to weeks we should be getting Rafael Soriano, John Smoltz, and Mike Gonzalez back (probably in that order). So with Resop already designated for assignment, the Braves still have plenty of decisions to make. Here’s the bullpen as of now:

I said yesterday that Jurrjens would have to bring his “A” game to win this one, I was wrong. This game was carried by the bats. We drove Webb’s pitch count up, we hit the ball where it was pitched, we did the little things and it all paid off. While its fun to watch the ball leave the yard, its also fun to watch small ball be played the right way! This game had both.

Is Resop a Poser? Si!
