08:13 AM ET 03.01 | For now, time remains on Atlanta's side. The calendar is just turning to March so Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez can shrug off the incongruity between the high expectations and shaky results for pitchers Paul Maholm and Craig Kimbrel. "I just see spring training," Gonzalez said after the Phillies got to two of his more consistent pitchers in a 10-5 victory Thursday. "For me, I want to see these guys keep getting better and keep getting sharper as spring progresses." Kimbrel had his second consecutive sub par outing, at least by his standards. He was fifth in voting for the National League Cy Young Award after in 2012 after he converted 42 of 45 save chances with 116 strikeouts and a 1.01 ERA.

the pitchers are too rusty at this time in spring training, lets give them another month or so and these pitchers would likely turn things around for the better in the braves favor,,,

the spring training has one solo purpose, to prepare all the players to a better baseball game level,should the pitchers still fail and had the unability to throw conssistent strikes?? likely those pitchers could be dealing with a old injuried!!!

what it gets me is,,,the angels would be mad and offline thanks to all their regulars been unable to hit the ball and a lack in the ability to drive runs in the regular season, but WHO do you blame??playing with minor leaguers in their spring training it shows halos do not have any gram of respect for the regular season though,,,

spring training should be used to, adjust their lineup/fix and correct any errors or mistakes/test every starter in the best way possible/bring in your best hitters into the game to increase hands on and timming at the plate/ get those catchers workout untill they feel falling apart,,

wiseup: Spring season is only a week old. most teams are playing triple A and double A. Some starting players and pitchers get a few iningsand then pulled for minor leaguers and invitees. It's a little early to get too concerned.

Kimbrel will be okay. Maholm will be average. Move on.
