Locke is flat out awful. He's struggled to get through 5inn in something like 6 of L8 starts. With Gomes, Uribe, Johnson in middle lineup Braves got more options now vs lefties. Since start of Zona series & last nights game Braves seem to be seeing ball better right now. And with s pitcher like Locke I think that should continue for tonight's game.
I know Tehran has been a big disappointment this year but I encourage you to check his home stats. He's been a different pitcher this year at the Ted. He's coming off a strong outing in SF I'm hoping we see some progression as well. Braves middle relief does scare hell out of me. I miss the days of O'Flaherty (7th), Venters (8th) and Kimbrel.
Throughout baseball right now, with few exceptions, bullpens are a mess. Are there just not any good pitching prospects? The retread of $hitty pitchers has always bothered me but now just don't seem to be any good prospects. Somebody sign Amendola or Mo'Ne ad I'm tired of the Joe Blantons of the world although he is good for my bank account. lol
I see Braves taking this on 5-3; 6-4 type game.
