    Swanson needs to play, here or in AAA, this is absurd.

    Only thing I can think is that the FO thinks he is exhausted and needs rest.

    Yeah being a flop as a first overall pick can be very tiresome.

    I can't say I disagree with him maybe being sent down. Only thing I can think of is they don't want to diminish his confidence or make him think they have lost faith. But to me, it's needed, if they're serious about wanting him for long term, that might be the best thing to do. Let'em finish out the year in AAA, maybe call him up in mid September, have him play some winter ball, and come back and see what ya got next year.

    I haven't lost faith in him, maybe he's been pressing trying to do too much too soon. But he's just never found it this year and maybe he was rushed and too much was expected too soon.

    Folty sure is gonna make sure you get your times money's worth, isn't he.... Lol. Our half innings batting take about 5 minutes, while theirs seems like it takes about 30 minutes...

    Folty is throwing just fine. I called him the Ace of the staff so my single white female has to go out of his way to nitpick him.

    He didn't say he was throwing bad, he was saying he doesn't have his "A stuff".... He doesn't so far. He's thrown a helluva lot of pitches in just 3 innings. But he's managed to keep it at zero

    The grass in Arizona looks awful. Was terrible in LA too.

    Yeah he's been a bit wild. His elite stuff and a little luck is getting him out of it so far.

    That 2 seamer at 96 on the outside black for strike 3 was filthy.

    He's thrown that pitch twice now tonight and batters have zero shot at it. With a little more fastball control Folty becomes unhittable. Hopefully he gets there.

    Lol... Saying he's thrown a helluva lot of pitches. And joking about how his innings seems to take a half hour. Lol, that's cute. Lighten up bud. And quit trying to be everyone's hero from behind your keyboard.

    Yeah, I wasn't talking about you. I didn't even realize you were posting in this thread honestly. This is the first time I've even given you a moment of thought.
