6/30 GDT: Atlanta Braves (37-41) vs. Oakland Athletics (35-44)

For those wondering why Folty was given more chances than Wisler, this game is why.

A few brilliant quotes from clv, the blogger/editor, a few months ago:

"Pitcher A: 24 years, 177 days

15-21, 265.2 IP, 4.88 ERA, 4.88 FIP, 1.38 WHIP, 2.10 K/BB, 1.4 HR/9

Pitcher B: 25 years, 152 days

13-12, 228.2 IP, 4.92 ERA, 4.60 FIP, 1.45 WHIP, 2.85 K/BB, 1.5 HR/9

Not sure what either has shown to demonstrate that he's better than the other thus far."

and then his brilliant summation of his entire Wisler = Folty argument:

"Again, other than the K/BB Rate they've essentially been the exact same Pitcher - and Wisler is 1/2 year younger."
 
Folty did better when I was watching the game on my phone while driving on I-16 in pouring Thunderstorms. The second I stop for safety to watch the homer happens.
