The Atlanta Braves found a way to get a win against the New York Mets last night at Truist Park. It was a near carbon copy of game one against the Mets. Credit should go to Brian Snitker's bullpen management. Mark Zinno talked about it being clear that there are certain guys he knows are his high-leverage guys and he needs to lean on them. Secondly, the rumors are flying about DeShaun Watson's pending suspension, and it's expected to be between four to six games. Mark Zinno questioned this report because Calvin Ridley got a year for gambling and there seems to be no consistency from the NFL when it comes to punishing players. However, Zinno explained that the punishment doesn't make sense, but people have to understand the difference between the two crimes. Lastly, the Atlanta Falcons defense isn't expected to be a good football team this year. Defensive coordinator Dean Pees is looking for improvement from his defense in year two. Mark Zinno talked about the chance for improvement coming from the safety position. If Erik Harris, Richie Grant and Jaylinn Hawkins can prevent opposing teams from making big plays, it can make a huge difference overall.
