Newcomb looking great today in one inning thus far. 2 K's one hit... zero runs, zero walks
would love for him to go 2. They may push him to 3 innings like Wisler.
Folty's "improvement" has been minimal at best - to this point.
No one doubts who has the higher ceiling. Again, other than the K/BB Rate they've essentially been the exact same Pitcher - and Wisler is 1/2 year younger.
Surely you guys aren't using something other than just the numbers to decide that Folty is - or will be - better, are you??? Please don't tell us your EYES tell you that.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
maybe I will take this back and say I hope he goes 3 innings today.
4Ks, 2 ground outs and one ground ball single. Means he is keeping the ball down and flashing what he can be when he does that.
Folty 2016: 3.17 K/BB, 1.31 HR/9, 1.30 WHIP, 4.24 FIP
Wisler 2016: 2.35 K/BB, 1.49 HR/9, 1.33 WHIP, 4.85 FIP
One of those clearly took a step in the right direction while they other was stagnant. Another year of improvement from Folty and we will have something really useful on our hands. Wisler needs a lot more work.
Time for me to get irrationally excited about two innings from Newcomb.
Is there anything really else to do in respect to the Braves right now?

Forever Fredi
Nice comeback games for Krol and Newk.
kemp finally got a hit. good games for Neck and BP..
Flowers looks horrible thus far.
Newc is going to be a good one.
Albies cleared
Ivermectin Man
Newc is going to be a good one.
Told he is in lineup tomorrow, playing 2B
We get it!!
Wonder what TheThe thinks of Newcomb?
Haha...not sure how that double post happened.
Get Albies cleared (which happened).
Sign Pagan.
Figure out where Fried starts the season.
Keep Folty's solid start going.
Open the gates.

I think the Fried question is an easy one - start him in AA and then base decisions going forward on his performance.

Wait what? Folty was appreciably better than Wisler last year in every significant stat - K/BB, HR/9, FIP, ERA, etc.
