    Had to laugh when I saw Gameday graphic put that pitch square in the middle of the plate the size of a beach ball (it seemed). Braves have singlehandedly extended Howard's career for a few weeks this weekend.

    I like Cahill protecting our draft slot. Jace can shine and not hurt the rebuild. A team player, that man Cahill.

    Guys!!!! Just give him time, with enough time we will be able to flip him for a top 50 prospect. Be patient

    He's not the pitcher we want, he's the giant baby we need

    I know I'm suppossed to just look at Folty's K/BB....but hits and runs are hard to ignore. I just think his FB is too flat to be good.

    His stuff is fine.

    His location is atrocious and he has no confidence. He's constantly shaking off Bethancourt.

    That was my comment as well. Cahill has decent stuff if you are actually watching him. His issue is his command AND control along with no confidence at all. He thinks everything will be destroyed in due time - which looks to be accurate.

    With his sinker and fastball, he may actually work well out of the BP. I'd say attempt to bring a guy like Cornelly or Martin out to stretch.

    Also, 3-3!

    are there any contract/super 2/etc type issues that would make us keep Folty and/or Wisler down longer? would they just suck this this year and hold onto Wisler for 2 more weeks to get two more years control? IIRC Folty's clock has started in some way, right?

    We knew KJ would be a middle-of-the order hitter one day.

    Cahil is still generating ground balls in bunches. I'm not giving up on him.
