Say it enough and it’s true. Fact: Craig Kimbrel is an elite closer; depending on where your loyalties lie, the only arguments one can really hear for ‘Best Closer in Baseball’ status are Kimbrel, Aroldis Chapman, running-on-fumes-and-one-leg Mariano Rivera and MAYBE Jonathon Papelbon. Everyone else is ultimately replaceable and Braves fans would do well to remember that. He’s blown three of his last five – two of which came at two of the top hitters parks in the league. «Read the rest of this article»

Clarksville,TN – Who is Paul Maholm?
I know the particulars: a top-10 pick by the snakebitten Pittsburgh Pirates out of Germantown, Tenn., by way of Mississippi State. A crafty lefty (is there any other kind?), Maholm was a .500 pitcher for seven years in Pittsburgh before moving on to another group of hapless losers when he signed with the Cubs prior to 2012. The Braves got him (and Reed Johnson) for Arodys Vizcaino and Jaye Chapman at the deadline last year after the Ryan Dempster deal fell through.
All he’s done since then: 7-5, 2.73 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 79 strikeouts in 89 innings pitched. This season, he’s been particularly masterful, with three wins in as many starts and no earned runs allowed so far. Fewer sliders (13 percent compared to 28 percent last year, according to brooksbaseball.net) have combined with a greater reliance on his curveball, both regular and the super-slow-mo lollipop curve that has fooled a couple of batters this season, to help make his middling fastball look much better. «Read the rest of this article»
Clarksville, TN – I am not trying to rain on anyone’s parade. Really, I’m not. An 8-1 start is nothing to sneeze at, especially given the struggles of some of the principles involved – Jason Heyward, B.J. Upton and Dan Uggla, to name three. Justin Upton looks to be worth everything and more, Evan Gattis belongs and the pitching has been dynamite from stem to stern. Remember opening last season by getting swept by the Mets? This seems better.
I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that the Miami Marlins are awful, and would have a better-than-decent chance to be the worst team in baseball if not for the on-going schadenfreude experiment that the Houston Astros will put on display 162 times this year. Even Braves fans – who have to be delighted that their Tomahawked Heroes get to play the Fish 19 times this year – have to have some empathy for anyone that’s still willing to be a Marlins fan. That’s a franchise in disarray, and given how horrible the ownership situation has been, I blame no one for refusing to enter Jeffrey Loria’s Carnival Funhouse Stadium Funded By Tax Payer Money. «Read the rest of this article»
