Back on August 10, the Braves had one of their worst meltdowns in recent memory against a much weaker foe in the Miami Marlins. It was a game many felt would be remembered for a while, whether it be because of the meltdown itself or the fire extinguisher frenzy that followed (IT GOT NEWKED!). Regardless of how it was viewed, everyone knew that the bullpen’s response in the days that followed had the potential to substantially impact the Braves’ positioning in the playoff picture.
Thankfully, the Braves bullpen righted the ship, and did it quickly.
