• A look at the state of the Braves Bullpen at the All-Star Break

Robert Edwards-Imagn Images My kingdom for a stopper What if I told you that the difference between the 2024 and 2025 Atlanta Braves bullpen was a quarter of a run in FIP? Well, you’d probably tell me to place that calculator of mine somewhere that I wouldn’t like. And your sentiment would be correct, although you should probably watch your language. There’s a world of difference in that o...2025

Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images The Braves picked up a gritty win, giving them a chance to go into the all-star break on a sweep After a tight Friday night victory with an unusual lineup, the Braves were hoping to get a win against the hittable Erick Fedde behind a bullpen game started by Aaron Bummer.

Set Number: X164494 TK1 The answer is “no” and also “never” but one can still plead...
