Meh. Vizcaino is capable of the job. Braves need a setup man. Minter is frustrating as hell. I personally like Biddle and Parsons as middle relief, but the 8th inning is questionable.

I wouldn’t be opposed to signing Kimberl and moving Viz to the 8th, but I do think it’s necessary
Is Kimbrel going to be what pushes over the Phillies or wins us a playoff series? Probably not. But he moves everyone in the pen down a slot which makes the pen better.

Minter, Viz and Kimbrel is a nasty back end of the bullpen when all 3 are healthy and dealing.

I thought Sobotka was gonna be our answer, but it appears he has regressed from last season.

I'd like for these 9th innings to be less stressful, but nice win, nice shutout.

Before the 9th inning, our pitchers faced 1 over the minimum.
Best thing that could've happened to Gausman was getting away from the AL East

Kimbrel has been the only closer of the future we've ever had that worked out.

Shae Simmons got hurt and never made it back. Mauricio Cabrera is out of the game I think. AJ Minter looks more like a lefty specialist than a closer.

That, and our infield defense ranks near the top in the Majors while the Orioles ranked near the bottom, and for a ground ball pitcher, that makes a huge difference.

Signing Kimbrel and moving everyone down a slot in the pen also has to completely relieve us of ever seeing Luke Jackson pitch in a Braves uni ever again

Is there a worse TV analyst than Brian Jordan?! His IQ can't be above 60.

Agreed with thinking Sobotka being our answer to the 8th. I’m not willing to kick him to the curb yet this early.

But what's this Josh Tomlin guy doing on our roster if we're not gonna use him?

Dan Winkler isn't great, but he's better than a couple we're using out of the pen.

Donaldson not starting and Camargo at third.

I like it.
