The Atlanta Braves‘ bullpen is probably shaping up more quickly than even the Braves might like to see. That’s simply because some candidates have been digging themselves some holes that it might be hard to find their way out of.
Consider this: the Braves have yielded 6, 3, 1, 9, 6, and 6 runs thus far… 31 total.
These are the pitchers that have yielded all of them:
- Miguel Socolovich – 6 runs
- Luke Jackson – 5 runs (4 earned)
- Josh Ravin – 3 runs
- Lucas Sims – 2 runs
- Max Fried – 2 runs
- Chase Whitley – 2 runs
So let’s break that down a bit…
- Just three pitchers have been responsible for over half the runs allowed so far: 16 of them.
