Unless he throws 96 mph fastballs right down the middle of the plate and leaves his sinker up.
he's no John Smoltz.
dude, if you thought he was going to be john smoltz you were sadly mistaken.
oh I know he's not. That's what's going to kill the Braves all year. They make a living out of close games. They aren't going to win with that bullpen. Smoltz was a big part of the reason they won 96 last season.
Kolb is the best they could do.
Reitsma and Martin, are just not good at all.
Al lot of sports guys have picked the Braves to win the division this year, but if they don't get some middle relief they are going to get killed.
I hope Kolb will get better. I guess having Leo Mazzone is a huge plus.

The Braves bullpen is killing me this season. As much as I love having Smoltz back as a starter, there are times when I wish that he was still a closer.

Reitsma is wretched.
Are you nuts? He had a spotless inning today, throwing 8 strikes in 11 pitches.
He's extremely durable and has a great batch of pitches. Every team in the league needs guys like him. Is he Tom Gordon? No, but he's a quality, quality arm and you'd see GM's jumping all overthemselves to get him if available.

I'll give him that he's better this season than last season. he's average. Mark Remlinger was great for us in middle relief. Reitsma is a solid pitcher I guess I'm wrong about that when you look at the numbers
as of now I'm just glad he's not Tom Martin. Wow. I know we're only 9 games in but wow, the bullpen is supposed to put out fires right?
Don't hold lit matches around Tom Martin.
Yesterday they got absolutely torched by the Nationals.
19.29 ERA in 4 games in relief. He's like cramming varsity chili dogs down someone asking for rolaids.
