GDT: 5/3 Braves @ Mets

Just go get him... I'm embarrassed for him. Just tell him to get a shower and go straight to the airport.
 
Just remember I have been saying to sell high on Folty almost ever since we got him (nsacpi knows from my PM's I've never been sold on Folty). We have waited too late for that now I'm afraid.

Folty is still Folty, cannot control where the big fastballs go and cannot throw for strikes enough. Then when he falls behind he backs off and they hammer him.

Yep. A lot of people want to see him moved to the bullpen. Guess what? He's going to suck there too.

Maybe we can package him with Olivera for a top prospect haha

So because you were never sold on him that's supposed to make things ok?

I'd like to see Folty pitch with a real catcher calling the game.

Came in here to post this. Was just dumbfounded he kept calling for the 4 seam fastball over, and over, and over, and over. He was leaving it up over the middle of the plate. Consistently.

AJP will make anyone look worse, no doubt about that. But Folty has too many of his own issues too.
 
I can't stand a pitcher sacrificing on a 1st-3rd situation with 1 out. I'd rather take my chances that the pitcher can get a fly ball at the very least. I know a double play and strikeout are possibilities, but I feel like the bunt just ends the inning.

one pitch can change an inning.. I am not saying Folty needs to get it right in his head.. but the 2 -2 to Wright was right there.. Flowers would have stolen that pitch.. 2 out none on and it might have been a different board right now.. He also threw a nasty curve to Curtis and then threw it two other times.. REALLY
 
I gave a small scouting report on him and it's exactly what kills him. Secondary pitches suck enough they can swing fastball all day!!!!

Yea and for all the talk that he isn't max effort, he has to back off to low to mid 90's to control his fastball and it's still very straight IMO.
