Braves Add Jorge Julio to Triple-A Richmond

I'm guessing this is more grasping at straws. First Brian Lawrence, and now the rarely effective Jorge Julio. Julio started the season with the Cleveland Indians before being designated for assignment on May 28th. He can be dominant at times, but he's also one of those guys who is prone to completely falling apart in certain situations. He was a closer for most of his big league career, mainly with Baltimore, but the last two years have seen him mainly serving as a setup man.

THIS isn’t going to end well.

Well...

...he can’t be worse than Acosta is right now.

Right? I mean, I hope not…

i mean, at least with acosta, we can say “he’s still young, this is his first season in the majors, he could improve!”

jorge julio has a career ERA of 4.40 with a WHIP of over 1.40 and a sub-2:1 K:BB ratio

True…and that’s fine for the future. But as for this year, Acosta inspires less than no confidence. I will say that I would feel better about his performance if he were limited to one-inning stints.

Well

At least this eliminates the surprise of Huddy or Jair getting screwed out of another two wins a year.

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
