The Atlanta Braves are giving up runs at an unacceptable rate. The Bullpen has been a large part of the issue. However, is the bullpen the main issue?
Currently, the Atlanta Braves are giving more runs per game than all but 3 teams in the National League. A lot of these runs have come from the bullpen. It would be nice to say something to the order of “it’s easy to blame the bullpen because you only remember the bad, and not the good”, but the reality of the situation truly is bad.
