The departure of three of the team’s most productive relievers from the 2020 season — Mark Melancon, Darren O’Day, and Shane Greene — is no excuse; the Braves bullpen shouldn’t be performing this badly in 2021.

At exactly the halfway point of April — April 15 — I proposed whether Braves star Ronald Acuna could post the best April in franchise history.
