    The two have nothing to do with eachother. They aren't in competition. I don't even get why you are taking this angle.

    All you have to do is watch folty pitch. Observe how many times he misses his spot by over a foot.

    I wonder if James Andrews has been mailing Freeman business cards in bulk.

    I have watched him pitch. I see a guy performing better than he ever has as a Brave.

    Freeman got a break as Scooter chased ball four on that 3-1 before the strikeout.

    Not only does Folty not know how to pitch, he has no class. As he left mound after being pulled, he essentially flipped the bird to the HP Ump. Good thing the Ump wasn't paying attention to Folty.

    There's been plenty a time where Newcomb just suddenly starts missing armside in ABs, by a lot.
    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.

    I just need him to stop throwing and pitch. He has no excuses. Dude is too damn talented and overpowering to just throw it hard. So annoying.

    A strikeout on a pitch that misses the intended spot is luck.

    What do you think it is? Pitching is about changing speeds, movement and hitting spots. That's why a guy like soroka is going to be a big time pitcher.

    Folty has good enough stuff to be "wild" and still be an effective pitcher.

    I don't agree with this. Any hitter can hit a fastball over the heart of the plate and folty ends up there way too often.

    I agree with this. He needs to improve his command though.

    That's simply not true. Great stuff with **** command can work. Just like **** suff with good command can work. When you combine the two is when you get your TOR starters.
