    Philly is lucky to face our struggling starters this series minus Newk who spot starting.

    Fried used up all his good fortune early this season

    It’s early so no worries yet, but I’ll be really pissed if we lose to the Phillies. I hate them so damn much.

    Fried might be headed back to the Pen. He’s got to develop a slider and a change or a sinker.

    Fried needs a trip to driveline, me thinks. He is very inconsistent with tunneling pitches, even his normal pitches.

    I'd almost say IL him and do it in season if Newcomb throws an excellent start tomorrow.
    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.

    They'll get us at least once this weekend. We've won 7 in a row... we due a loss or 2. We just need to make dang sure we win at least 1 to keep 1st place

    Hopefully DK is at his best as our back end of the rotation is bad, everyone but Soroka and Teheran is not getting it done. Fried came in with an ERA over 5 in his last 7 or 8 starts. Obviously he isn't looking good tonight either.

    His slider is quite good, so it's not that.

    It's very inconsistent tunneling and not throwing the slider in the zone enough.

    A big slow curveball just can’t be used more than 20% of the time.

    His slider is fine he just doesnt feature it enough. But he’s also got to get righties off his fastball somehow.

    Fried has given up a blooper, some ground ball singles, and 1 absolute rocket. We (me included) probably too amped up to criticize

    yea i was hoping we could take game one just to take away any idea of a sweep but not looking good so far. But still time to turn this one around if Fried settles down.

    Hill does it, so it's not that.
