Player Notes

June 12, 2008
Blaine Boyer might have blown the save in the ninth inning, but it was Manny Acosta who picked up the loss in the 11th inning on Thursday. This was the Braves 21st straight loss in a one run game on the road, tied for the longest streak in major league history, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:Atrocious. The Braves might want to look up Gene Garber and see if he still has any bullets in his arm. Acosta is now 3-5 and in his last seven appearances he has two blown saves and four loses, which begs the question of why Bobby Cox keeps sending him out there?

May 26, 2008
Manny Acosta worked two perfect innings, striking out two, and earned his third victory of the season as the Braves beat the Diamondbacks 7-3 on Monday afternoon.

Our View:Accosta, who has been the team's primary ninth inning option with Raphael Soriano on the disabled list, entered the game and worked the sixth and seventh inning. The right-hander was judged the winner due to his performance and Jair Jurrjens' inability to pitch five full innings.

May 8, 2008
Manny Acosta had his third save taken away when an official scorer realized he mistakenly awarded one in the previous night following the Braves' 5-2 win over the Padres, according to the AP. Acosta entered the game with a 5-2 lead after Will Ohman got the first out of the ninth inning. Acosta retired Callix Crabbe and Khalil Greene to end the game. Braves official scorer Jack Wilkinson awarded Acosta his third save, and the save was included on the boxscore and postgame report.

Our View:The save was removed following a review by the commissioner’s office and the Elias Sports Bureau, baseball’s statistician. To qualify for the save, Acosta would have had to start the inning with a three-run lead or enter the game with the potential tying run on base, at the plate or on deck.

April 30, 2008
Manny Acosta was saddled with his first loss of the year after allowing two runs in two innings of work on Wednesday. Acosta allowed only two hits but he walked five Nationals hitters.

Our View:Acosta hadn't allowed a run in 10 outings, but his total lack of control today has to be a big concern. Acosta now has 11 BB and just nine K on the season, and with word that John Smoltz might return to the bullpen once healthy, Acosta's time in the closer's role might be coming to an end.

April 24, 2008
Manny Acosta picked up his second save of the season on Thursday despite allowing two walks in two innings of work.

Our View:Acosta now has a dangerously low 1.17 K/BB ratio, a horrible number for any pitcher let alone a closer. Look for that number to improve substantially, or there could be trouble in his future.
