Braves Talk - May 13

The Braves pitching staff could be really good once the season begins, especially if we go on what we saw before spring training was cancelled.

Four relievers – Mark Melancon, Chris Martin, Darren O’Day and Luke Jackson – did not give up an earned run in their Grapefruit League games.

Reliever Will Smith had an ERA of 1.69 in his five games. Shane Greene was the only reliever who had a troubled spring, posting an 8.10 ERA in his six games. But Greene had done better in his final two appearances.

Others were making a case for an appearance at some point in 2020 who made a positive impression.
