Campillo’s been okay thus far. One bad outing doesn’t swamp the many (quality) innings of long relief he’s given us thus far. Ohman’s not very good be he’s servicable. Ring seems to get out lefties fine.

Overall it’s been a very good past week. It’s just a shame everything had to suck when Smoltz got 3K.

BTW, how about 3 consecutive starters getting into the 7th inning? And two actually getting out of it! :-O

This bullpen is in need of a fully recovered Sori and Gonzo.

Nevertheless, the offense took the whole night off, and they would lost 1-0 regardless of what Campillo did.

It was tailor made. He could’ve underhanded the ball to second and still gotten two.

I’m not that down on our bullpen. They’ve pitched pretty dang well of late. If Campillo makes the routine play, we are out of the inning. Resop, of course, needs to go away.

The ball hopped into center field.

He short-hopped Escobar on a potential inning-ending DP, leading to all 5 runs scoring.

All were earned. Campillo is smoke and mirrors, there’s a reason he’s been a career minor leaguer.

I’m not willing to throw in the towel on Campillo just yet. And Bennett will probably be in the bullpen soon, when Glavine or Hampton (bwahaahahahahaha! I crack me up) returns. But yeah, we need Soriano. And Moylan, even if staples have to be involved.

Since I was away… Did Campillo screw up and tried to get a double play, leading to the error?

The only major league caliber pitchers we have in the bullpen right are Boyer and Acosta. I guess Ohman and Ring can stay since they’re left-handed.

I was away, and I see Resop pulled off the rare Triple Grybo with none of his own runs scoring. Extremely impressive. Judges?

9.9 9.6 9.9 10 9.9 9.8

Yes, with the lowest score thrown out it’s a 59.5 for Resop! A gold medal for bad relief pitching goes to Naples, Florida’s own Chris Resop!

It is utterly contemptible that the Braves continue to employ Chris Resop.
