I’ve got some Robles shares, so hopeful this is meaningful, but wondering if Buttrey came in to face Whit, Mondesi, Dozier. Toughest part of order came up in the 8th.

Toughest part of order came up in the 8th. This was how they pitched the last time both of them did in a non-save situation. I have little doubt Buttrey is the setup man at the moment as long as Robles doesn't bomb. Which, oddly enough Robles is trying to do here in a 7-2 game by putting the first two guys on... 4 minutes ago, Code of Hammurabi said: Good old Blake Parker Damn right. Another really nice job.

HaloFanatic17 431 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Minter doing his best to ensure that yesterday’s implosion wasn’t a fluke. We are about to get an encore. Link to post Share on other sites
BMcP 8,611 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) Maybe they should allow Minter to drop his ERA below 9 before anointing him the closer. Edited April 28, 2019 by BMcP 1 Link to post Share on other sites
KilloWertz 2,542 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 AJ Minter trying to blow another game, putting the first two guys on. Benching him today after last night might end up being a great move... Link to post Share on other sites
AnonymousRob 3,489 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I've said it a bunch of times but Treinen has not looked right all year. Link to post Share on other sites
HaloFanatic17 431 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Minter pulled after getting a fly out but allowing 2 singles to start the inning. Maybe cuz he threw so many pitches the day before? Link to post Share on other sites
indycolts88 105 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 If Luke Jackson gets the save here, he could be the guy for the Braves going forward maybe? Link to post Share on other sites

If they refuse to sign kimbrel, yes. They also traded for Jerry Blevins today. That’s how bad it is Link to post Share on other sites

HaloFanatic17 431 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Minter couldn’t get it done yet again. I just don’t see an aggressive mentality from him to put guys away. Looks like he’s second guessing himself. Could have put Blackmon away but decided to throw two changeups in a row which isn’t one of his best pitches and he was ahead in the count 1-2. Gotta figure he lost his job after these last two days? Link to post Share on other sites
AnonymousRob 3,489 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Robles with a less than stellar outing. 22 pitches to grind through the ninth in a non-save situation. Buttrey looked worse though, so I guess that's a plus. Link to post Share on other sites

The thing about Luke Jackson is that he's Luke Jackson. With this bullpen if Minter isn't the closer then they don't have one. Link to post Share on other sites

Would he pull Minter our of the role this quickly or give him some rope. Also, didn’t Winkler have some saves last year? Would he be in the mix too? Who would be the favorite if Minter is removed from the closer gig? Link to post Share on other sites
