lol @ that defense

 

[Russ2dollas]

Just like in his first outing it looks like FOlty gets better as the game moves along.

by his own admission his biggest issue is getting nervous/too excited. Getting in the flow and settling down makes sense.

 

[Dalyn]

Yeah, Folty misses his locations way too much. Its going to get him in trouble.

He's always going to miss his location too much.

 

[thewupk]

that has to be an error

 

[USMA76]

Geez, you have to make that play Maybin.

Maybe time to start up the Eric Young, Jr. in centerfield bandwagon...LOL

 

[Braves1976]

Flipside of having the fewest strikeouts in the league, I guess.

It is true that our two best contact hitters historically also hit into more DP's than average (Simmons has become a DP machine in fact and Callaspo has been such in the past too).

 

[nsacpi]

wonder if it's better for folty to fig it out in the bigs or minors. Minors protects his service time. But majors is where he needs to become comfortable.

I like that he's throwing his other pitches.

Guy needs to repeat his delivery and work on command/control. But he can be effectively wild.

His breaking ball (not sure if it is a curve or slider) has a lot of potential. He was up for two months last year. I would try to have him be in the minors a total of three months this year, so we can delay free agency by a year. It won't delay arbitration eligibility since he would be a super two in that scenario. Maybe we can slide Williams Perez into the rotation.

lol Maybin is just laughing it up

 

[thethe]

Get us another inning Folty!

I think Folty is in the bigs for good at this piont unless he completely implodes.

Nick's going to need to start putting some more liners into the gap if he wants to beat that 1.5 WAR projection

 

[thethe]

What a sweet short stroke from Jace!

 

[Braves1976]

Peterson with another hit that almost took the pitcher's head off.

 

[thewupk]

good job Peterson

 

[Braves1976]

Good job by Maybin too, nice start to the inning.

Meanwhile, Peterson is going to blow his WAR projection out of the water.

 

[USMA76]

Is it legal for the Braves to correctly execute a hit and run play?

 

[thewupk]

good call Fredi!

He's looking good out there

 

[Braves1976]

I knew Maybin could steal but didn't expect one there. Now maybe Folty can get an RBI again. Yep, RBI sac-fly. Good job Mike!
