    I hope we don't regret not skipping him in rotation as we could've did so with the off day and adding DK. We could've lined up Soroka to pitch today.

    We are seriously going to give the Nats all the confidence they need to get back in it.
    They're 18-7 about to be 19-7 they have the ball rolling. It's up to us to withstand their hot streak.

    Regardless of Folty turning it around I think we still need to trade for a starter, I still don’t think it should be Bumgarner.

    Definitely. That said, they’re a legitimately good team. I’m not so sure this is just a streak. Atlanta just has to play better and up to a better standard against them. They have a really deep lineup. Folty can’t just throw hard and expect them to not hit it hard.

    I'll take Stroman or Bumgarner.

    In his case he may have been pitching injured. If so that could explain his poorer results.

    We've been just as hot. Folty is garbage though

    They have played near 700 ball for a month or so. Thats a hot streak. Luckily the Braves have played very well in that span as well.

    It’s a good thing the men associated with the Braves are more level headed than the posters around here.

    Every deficit is a loss, every struggling player is trash.

    11 starts in and his FIP is over 6. At what point do you just replace him?

    This is the worst, just the absolute worst and it miffs the heck out of me.

    Those that get angered by Folty's emotional self, why would you think that being in relief would harness him? And do you think it'd get him his 2018 slider back to boot too? Because he needs that slider or he's a bust in effectiveness, PERIOD.
    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.

    Let him pitch a bit longer tonight before calling this start a disaster.

    On another note, whoever is the marketing director for Progressive needs to be fired.
