We might be starting to see some end of season fatigue from guys like Soroka and Wentz.

Supposedly Allard was sitting 88-92. That isn't going to cut it.
Probably. I can't get any real info on how hard he consistently throws.
What I do know is when these guys get to Atlanta they end up throwing significantly softer than the prospect reports claim. Newk was billed as a 95-97 monster who now averages 93. Sims was supposedly a 95+ guy who now averages 91. Fried was reportedly in the upper 90s earlier this year and impressing everyone, now he's around 93 out of the BP when he can let it fly for 1-2 innings.
So yes, Allard probably does average 90 MPH because his scouting report says "His fastball will sit in the low-90s, with the ability to reach back for a little more when needed."
Do you have some other data I've never seen? Or is this just another post of yours with nothing to contribute other than a contrarian comment?
The crying shame I saw Tuesday is what potential Connor Lien has if not for his gawdawful swing. He ran down fly balls all night and had a double and triple. But he's struck out over 140 times this year.
Interesting question - is it time for Collmenter to replace Folty in the rotation???
:panic:
What has the world come to when a starting pitcher only has to go 5 innings to be considered lights out?
