GDT: BRAVES VS PIRATES GAME 4

[UNCBlue012]

Yup, he's back. This is embarrassing. We know he's better than this - he needs to show it.

[Garmel]

Folty's done. He's never shown the mental fortitude to deal with what's happened to him tonight.

In time he may change but his emotional maturity is definitely piss poor as of now.

[msstate7]

Folty being good for a week was awesome

[KB21]

Yup, he's back. This is embarrassing. We know he's better than this - he needs to show it.

His biggest issue is his temper, IMO. He gets mad and starts overthrowing, everything gets out of sequence.

Man! He reminds me so much of a young John Smoltz. Is the psychologist that helped Smoltz out still around?

Jaso looks like so many guys I begrudgingly smoked a joint with, at a youthful social gathering, simply because they brought it.

Then you realize they're going to want to talk to you ...

Sadly, this was prescient.

Twice—first against McCutchen, then against Polanco—he had the batter where he wanted him, then couldn't put away the (albeit very good) hitters. I don't know if it's "fortitude," but it's definitely an issue of mentality.

Some bad luck and a few mistakes. I am not ready to give up on him yet.

That is also because his secondary pitches are not good enough. Not to mention his others issues.

I hope the next CBA proscribes that 'do.

[NinersSBChamps]

Faulty.

[Braves1976]

Folty doesn't have enough secondary stuff to help him get by when his fastball command is off like tonight.

[Anthony J. Pierzynski]

Also what he washes down his Cialis with before he chokes on the chicken.

Four inches of blue steel, gentlemen.

I think he's demonstrated progress, especially with the two-seamer, but also with the slider; it's just not all consistently coming together yet. I'm nonetheless more hopeful about his prospects now than I was at the end of 2015.

[keithlaw]

Aybar originally in the lineup but had to be removed due to going to the hospital to have a chicken bone removed from his throat.

We're really missing Gerald's Lairdership

[jpx7]

Four inches of blue steel, gentlemen.

A little Mich Ultra, a little silver bullet.

[The Chosen One]

I wonder if Snitker would rather go back to Gwinnett.

[mqt]

This is a bad, bad baseball team.

[jpx7]

Joe "fully supports this move," so obviously it's idiotic.

At 5-1, in a lost season, just let Foltynewicz pitch through his struggles.

[Braves1976]

Hope Gant is saved for Sunday but maybe not with Folty being knocked out so early.

I have a feeling we could see Jenkins on sunday
