6/14/15 GDT: Braves (Foltynewicz) @ Mets (Gee)

Not sure what he does going forward. I'm sure babip or something will say he's lucky. But he was awful early in the year and is now 6th in baseball among second baseman based on obp. 11th in ops.

48th in obp in all of baseball despite bad start.

I don't know if that's an avg bat.

He has a 105 wRC+ which is slightly above average.

I dont believe he is an average bat either. The guy knows what he is doing at the plate.

I love this type of offensive team. S9 consistent when you focus on putting the ball in play.

[VirginiaBrave]

Never seen a Braves offense be quite this consistent playing this way.

[Russ2dollas]

Not for a 2b.

And he's in his first year. Still only 25. He still has projection.

He's not cano or kipnis.

He has the physical strength to think he could get more power

[thethe]

To think...our manager needed to be told to play this kid. Amazing.

I still think need another ff level guy or a couple of guys with more power.

Lf rf 3b and catcher still need major upgrades. Markakis obp is great but him batting 4th is terrible. And it's only year one of the deal.

Love simbas approach this year and lately. Hitting it hard

Our manager is horrid. He's cost us first place with his bungling. Too bad Js and cox love him

[UNCBlue012]

And Folty with another dumb assortment of pitches.

[UNCBlue012]

Pretty lucky. I'll take it.

[VirginiaBrave]

Freeman level guys don't grow on trees and tend to be expensive.

[NinersSBChamps]

So how about another starting pitcher?

[Julio3000]

Two outs on the bases for the Mets...not a great showing by Folty there.

[Garmel]

I think it's time to move Folty down and bring up Wisler. Don't get me wrong. I still think Folty is going to be a good pitcher but he needs more seasoning.

[thethe]

We are going to get these up and down performances with Folty.

[NinersSBChamps]

Thought we traded away major league players for these supposed amazing pitching prospects? Well there has to be someone better on the farm than this Folty person.

[thethe]

I dont agree it's time for him to learn at the major league level

[Russ2dollas]

Freeman level guys don't grow on trees and tend to be expensive.

No doubt. We have some money now. We have some high ceiling guys in the farm. We are in on international.

Helps to get lucky....need a high babip offseason

[UNCBlue012]

I agree. I like him, but he needs to define his outpitches more, or find one to be more exactly. I like his stuff, makeup, mechanics, etc. I think he will be a beast... but, he needs some seasoning.

[NinersSBChamps]

We are going to get these up and down performances with Folty.

So wasting good offensive performances by being a bad pitcher?
