I give up on folty
Hollandsworth just verified the Marlins thought they could have success vs Folty with LHers. They were right.
Folty is another guy without a change, and therefore can't get opposite handed hitters out.
Hey enscheff, I'm not so sure folty is better than wisler. Kinda kidding and kinda not
You might as well just convert Folty to a ROOGY after this season.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Can folty be a high leverage reliever by just completely airing it out?
There is still a chance none of the first wave pitchers make it as starters: Folty, Newcomb, Blair, Wisler, Fried, Jenkins, etc. It would be nice if one of them put together a few 2-3 win seasons.

Being better than Wisler isn't much of a compliment. Just like the other guys with good stuff, he deserved a chance to see if he could figure it out.Originally Posted by msstate7
I thought he would. I was wrong.
The Braves have Julio as a 2-3 win guy and not much else. And Julio's stuff is declining to the point where he won't even be that much longer.
I guess they could build one hell of a BP if it's any consolation.
Hey the royals had an impressive run with the strength of the team being the pen. Maybe we build our pitching staff around a big time pen.
No. Fastballs that are straight will get destroyed.

Folty's fastball has good rise.
Rio hit that hard
I'd have dealt Folty at the deadline.

Folty looks hurt
Maybe not, maybe he just threw 5 straight cutters

Maybe I gave up on folty too quick. Pretty impressive to finish the night
Good start Folty.
Yeah it was hard to tell but he pumped one up to 98 after I was worried. The slow "fastballs" he threw had 8 inches of break compared to his normal 4.
But they broke like sliders or cutters at 88-91. I don't remember ever seeing him throw that pitch.
