The Atlanta Braves will go with a bullpen game in Friday’s series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers with Jesse Chavez penciled in as the starter. Brian Snitker said that getting through the four games in New York without having to overuse anyone opened up the possibility for going with a bullpen game.
“He’s done it before. It just eliminates us having to bring somebody in to make a start,” Snitker said. “So, this is finally a good option. I think with how the series went in New York and really didn’t over use anybody.
