Blew it! Braves had their chances to put the Cards away and failed plus the Mets won again!

He could ruin any hopes of the Braves repeating. We should have pushed to get Craig Kimbrell.

To be fair....
Kimbrel, just like Jensen, aren't what they used to be...
Which is why the braves acquired Iglesias from Anaheim...
To be next year's closer....

I don’t like him at all - can’t hold a runner
Aug 27, 2022, 10:46 PM

on 1st with that stupid delivery. Who else rocks back on one leg and lose all momentum before throwing the ball -? I keep waiting for him to lose his balance & fall flat in his back. Why Snitker thinks he is the best choice to close a game is beyond me

Kenley is tied for the most saves with 4 blown saves all year. Sorry you don't like his motion but he's one of the best in the league still. Having an inexperienced strider, which he was brought in to relief, over him is silly. The mental part of closing would show very clearly if they were to demote kenley

I watch the Braves and Jansen
Aug 27, 2022, 10:51 PM

has a lot of those saves by sheer luck and a lot of good defense behind him. Not many 3 up, 3 down innings like you want from closers

...Jansen has a quirky motion but the guy has done a great job this year so far. His stats are on par with his past.

He scares me when the Braves only have a one run lead

If they get Soroka back in good form I wouldn’t mind seeing Strider moving to closer- he could match what Kimbrell was when he was in Atlanta

...I haven't even thought about Strider closing given his starting success. But Soroka may be a wild card in this whole thing.

This season Soroka would go to the bullpen
Aug 28, 2022, 12:50 AM
|

let him go in the 7th or 8th a few times. If he can earn the closer spot, then that'll solve a lot of problems. Put him back in the starting rotation next season.

Soroka?
Aug 28, 2022, 12:42 PM
[ in reply to He scares me when the Braves only have a one run lead ] |

I have doubts about Soroka returning to Atlanta this year. Personally, I think he should stay in the minors and play winter ball to get back into playing/pitching shape but that's just me...

All those wins probably came bc he could let my grandma steal 2nd once he walked her. And blew a save opportunity. So yeah do you watch baseball.

And he gets paid a lot of money for those types

Of situations. I am not half as smart as the Braves manager but I kind of think it may be time to make him a set up man or middle reliever since he is getting a nice paycheck

We love Kenley Jansen. He talks a good game.
Famous last words before Game 7: “We don’t want to give it up in our place and it’s not happening,”

Cardinals hit some hard balls before Jackson got in the game. Braves were kind of lucky to be in the position they were in in the ninth. But, I agree with most here, Jackson is not Craig Kimbrell.
