I just don't get it

Ramirez got knocked around last night like nothing I have seen in some time. Only accumulated an inning of work, but gave up 7 runs on 7 hits.

The bullpen, go figure, came in and pitched 8 great innings. They allowed only 2 earned runs - both of those given up by Villarreal in that painful 2nd inning. Kevin Barry pitched 4 amazing innings to keep his rookie season rolling right along.

I don't understand how the 'pen can pitch so well in a game that the Bravos are losing by 7, but couldn't hold a 5 run lead for Hudson on Thursday.

Pete Orr has not played since Wednesday.
