Dan Kolb no longer the closer
After allowing 2 runs in the ninth inning Tuesday night to blow another John Smoltz win, Dan Kolb has finally been demoted from the closer’s job by Bobby Cox. The Braves will employ a “closer by committee” and move Kolb to middle relief. The committee may include any or all of the following: Chris Reitsma, Adam Bernero, Jorge Sosa and John Foster who has looked sharp since being recalled from Richmond. Kolb has the second-highest walks rate (16 in 16 2/3 innings) and the fourth-highest ERA among NL relievers!
Upon hearing the news, Atlantans apparently staged a parade. Check out this hilarious website: FireDanKolb.com.
