Terrible walk. Last inning he got a ground out to start on a high ball. So he has been lucky on the chases.

Folty making be look bad right now. Deadly change up
Folty will be at 100 pitches in two more batters...smh

Nice of Folty to start actually pitching when he's at 80 pitches in the 4th. He has so much potential but I have serious doubts he's ever able to achieve it.
Maybe we can get 5 scoreless out of Folty since this is the Reds, pitcher starts next inning too.
another lucky inning for Folty
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
I'll take 5 scoreless innings and 100 pitches from a guy with Folty's stuff.

Folty's ERA is down to 2.13 to start the season. He entered today striking out 11 per 9. I know people are really skeptical of him, but if he keeps some approximation of this up, he is going to be a great piece for us.
Two runs against this bum is kind of embarrassing.
Folty is a douche bag.
And yet, he has a 3.20 fip / 3.56 xfip, supported by strong k/9 (11.37) and hr/9 (0.71), and a mediocre but not Newcomb-bad bb/9 (4.26); his babip is not particularly lucky either (.288). You keep saying but the glove-hits!, and yet even the stats on that, as Enscheff linked, show you're wrong.
I too would love to see progress with pitch count / ip/g, and for the bb/9 to drop about 1.0; but as Beanie said, "if he keeps some approximation of this up, he is going to be a great piece for us."
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."

lol Joe believing in the hot hand of Flaherty
LOL at Folty. Had he walked the pitcher this thread would've exploded.
