Bullpen help
I'm using the Braves in my dynasty, and I should have one of the best bullpens in the game. But my 'pen is continuously letting me down, and I'm getting frustrated.
Last game, I spent most of the game dealing down in the zone with Jurrjens. Get to the 9th with a 4-3 lead and I bring in Kimbrel. I tried throwing sliders down and off the plate and fastballs up - both in and out. Gave up a single and a double. And then Jason Bartlett fouled off about six pitches before lacing a game-tying single off a 96-mph fastball up and away on a 3-2 count. And that's been the norm of late with Kimbrel.
Kimbrel's ERA is at 3.25 now. Venters' is over 6 - yes 6. Moylan and O'Flaherty will be dominant until crunch time. Medlen, my lowest-rated reliever - is the one I do the best with.
Any tips on how to get my bullpen going?
