[The Chosen One]

Poor Folty. Builds his confidence up only to have to get AJP catch him in his first start.

Expecting a yuge game from Reid Brignac

this just kills me.. I only got to watch about 4 innings yesterday.. but in two different innings Flowers easily stole a strike with framing. Do you know how different an inning can be if the leadoff guy or even the 2nd batter is looking at a 2-1 pitch vs a 1-2 pitch. not in every case but it could escalate for sure.. and for a guy like Folty who has no room for error.. two or three extra strikes a game would be Yuge!!!

I miss McCann a bunch because of his outstanding pitch framing. Don't think it's any coincidence our pitching sucked after he left.

Also they didn't keep track of pitch framing back then but Eddie Perez definitely framed better than Javy and I wonder if Maddux knew this and was part of the reason he preferred Eddie.

Fredi already has the lineup made out for tomorrow's game? Hopefully, so his replacement has one less thing to do.

If this season is getting you down just remembe the Yankees only have 2 more wins than us. Atleast we were trying to suck. The Yankees spent 225 million to be a last place team that hasnt even reached double digit wins after the first month.

And if we just had another arm or actual everyday starter and if Freeman didn't suck for almost an entire month we'd be in business.

Noted that over the weekend as well and was surprised. Houston too. Boy, those fan bases must be in shock. At least we were expecting to be bad.

[Enscheff]

Know how to tell if your team sucks? Your #2 hitter has a .260 OBP.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Love Folty's potential but damn he gives up a ton of home runs.

[CrimsonCowboy]

That was a bomb by Wright

[WaitingFor2017]

Tyler could've stolen one of those balls Folty threw and struck out Wright.

[USMA76]

David Wright welcomes Folty back to the majors...smh.

[Braves1976]

Folty is still Folty, cannot control where the big fastballs go and cannot throw for strikes enough. Then when he falls behind he backs off and they hammer him.

[msstate7]

Same ol' folty

[USMA76]

As you said earlier, a million dollar arm with a 10 cent brain. So far, that appears to not have changed.

[Braves1976]

Homerun derby for the Mets...

[WaitingFor2017]

Yikes.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Those were both crushed.
