Dont look now, but the rotation just went through with every starter pitching a Quality start.
If we keep getting production like that it bodes well for the team (W/L, value for trades, development of pen, covering up for obvious deficiencies).

I think as the season progresses the team is going to shake out as average pitching, below average offense, and bad defense.
Nice. Did we have a quality start at all last season? Kinda playing

the starters have been better than I thought thus far. Folty really hung in there, but CB is just horrible and I couldn't tell if he hurt Folty or helped him. I am really looking forward to Folty's next start. I hope Dickey get CB behind the plate sometime this year. Who knows how that would go.. but would be fun.
so far peripherals look good for Colon and Dickey, not so good for Garcia and Folty
..usual caveat about sample size applies

Julio has been excellent! I hope tonight is just as good. Folty hung tight and got squeezed like crazy, so I can't complain. Colon had two great games and one bad one, I'll take that any day. Dickey has been solid and Garcia has been eh.
very happy with Tehran.
Folty seems the same old Folty.
Dickey and Colon are what I expected.
I expected Garcia to be much better.
Last year Faulty had only 2 walks, 16 strikeouts, and 4 home runs through his first three starts.
This season 7 walks, 8 strikeouts, and 1 home run. Although this is two starts and three overall appearances.
I think there is really nothing to say right now. His first starts last season were in May when the weather is typically warmer. I wasn't trying to paint a picture one way or the other. I think he's a thrower and not a pitcher. Has a live arm, but doesn't know the intricacies of pitching.

I think the rotation has performed exactly as projected. Tereran is good, Colon and Dickey are reliably mediocre, Folty is volatile, and Garcia is bleh.
All that matters is Teheran stays healthy, and Folty gains consistency. So far 1 of those 2 has happened. Continuing to give Folty more time is all the Braves can and should do.
