    A great sign is that he seems to finish stronger than he starts. Once he gets over the beginning jitters it could be a lot of fun.

    We need to get one more clean inning out of him.

    I don't want to see EY get another at bat with the Braves.

    I have no clue why he is on the team anymore. Baffling.

    One of the things that impresses me most about Folty is the quality of his stuff does not diminish even at the 100 pitch mark.

    I wasn't surprised to see him in the lineup today after Maybin's lazy fielding play last night. Lucky it didn't cost us a run in a tie game late.

    Amazing to me that we don't have anyone in the minors that wouldn't bring more to the table than EY does.

    That hard slider is working right now. Folty flashes TOR stuff often. Very exciting.

    Not in the slightest. If anything, his control is sharper.

    I worry about Folty's mechanics. They're not sustainable long term.

    Give AJ credit, he's killed a couple of potential rallies by throwing out guys at second base.

    Pretty embarrassing SB attempt by Bruce. Get's thrown out easily on a lollipop throw from AJ. I will say though, Mike is doing a much better job of holding runners on in this game.

    Are there mechanics that prevent injury? Seems nobody is immune anymore.

    Folty actually is pitching his best tonight after a slow start, he doesn't usually have this much consistency with both his fastball and curveball working so well. However, it helps that they're mostly chasing too so they don't need to be strikes.

    Folty did have an elbow scare last year with Houston, but after that he hasn't had any issues that I know of.
