5/12/15 Braves @ Reds

I always cringe when I see the pitcher throw to second to start the double play.

 

[jsebe10]

I'm a fan of keeping Folty out here.

Our bullpen will blow it anyway.

 

[UNCBlue012]

This is just so sickening. That error was so bad there.

 

[Hawk]

Rookie mistake.

This will serve as a valueable learning experience for Folty. I don't care that he let up the tying run. This start was a HUGE positive.

 

[jsebe10]

Unearned run.

Except when Maddux did it. You knew it'd be accurate.

 

[smootness]

Absolutely are. It's not really about preventing, more so reducing the chance of getting TJ surgery. Having bad mechanics doesn't help you out.

What is unsustainable about his mechanics?

 

[jsebe10]

Fckn Avilan. Jesus. Anyone else have that gut feeling that Votto is going to make his biznatch

 

[chop2chip]

It makes sense in retrospect why he has won every gold glove since 1940.

 

[weso1]

That was a really dumb decision to bunt there by the Reds, but they got away with it because of the bad throw. I mean you bunt a slow player over to second with a guy who hasn't hit much coming up next.

 

[USMA76]

OK dumb question concerning scoring. Looking at the boxscore on ESPN, it shows Folty with three earned runs. Why isn't the last one unearned as it was set up by an error and (without it) the inning would be over with no runs scored? I didn't think it mattered if the error was on the pitcher.

 

[Julio3000]

Not that I know ****, but I'm fine with leaving Folty out there to start the 7th. Shame about the error.

What happened before 1940?

I think it does matter. It certainly should.

No.

 

[The Tariff King]

What is unsustainable about his mechanics?

Too much arm and shoulder. Follow through is erratic. Think Matt Harvey.

 

[50PoundHead]

A lot of people supporting Fredi, but Foltynewicz gave him 6 solid innings and was at 95 pitches. I pull him.

Never mind, they just changed it back to two earned runs.

Once Avilan got Votto out that run should've been unearned, a hit by Votto would've made it earned though (correction, a hit would've made three earned and four runs). So end result is an unearned run.
