Look who's hitting 2nd.
SD must be starting a LHer. Would be nice to have better RHed batters to put in there.
He's playing so well that I hate moving him out of the eight-hole, but I also get giddy about giving him the opportunity.Originally Posted by Garmel

Absolutely smart to give Ender a breather. I would actually put that ass on a plane to LA and tell him to go get some poontang...
expecting a yuge game from Culberson

"I am your retribution."
Stupid to break up wonder twin powers.

Legit concern.
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
Yeah, Culberson should be batting 3rd.

Freddie es en fuego!
Fredito es muy, muy bien.
So Folty going to be an ace moving forward?
Never been happier to be wrong in my life.

Give the guy a job, he executes it.
Folty was absolutely filthy that inning.
Of the 7,438 times you've been wrong about a player, you've never been happier? Must be due to the fact it's the only time you decided to be down on a player to make a point that you aren't always pimping Braves players.
Folty's success isn't as flukey as Newk's, but it also isn't sustainable at quite this level.
Spangenberg is so bad but he always kills us
The funny thing is, statcast stats like Newk better than Folty.

Suggests Folty is getting more luck, even if your favorite predictive stat likes him more than Newk.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Please bunt into a DP
Newk is pitching as good or better than Folty, mostly due to a superior GB rate. That much is clear.
However, Newk also has much farther to regress when that 4.9% HR/FB value decides to normalize.
Folty's 8.6% value is low, but not obscenely low, and his elevated K rate has helped tamp down his HR/9 so far. Newk is simply getting lucky on FBs not leaving the park.
