5/8 Game Thread: DBacks at Braves (Corbin vs Foltynewicz)

Actually, not everyone that says Fredi should be fired and should've been in the past blames only him for the losing now or in the past. I am not sure anyone ever does truly but that it's more those trying their best to defend Fredi who argues as if that's the view when in reality we all have our differing opinions and understandings on Fredi, FO, and the players. Further, if you don't want to call what you said excuses for Fredi, I could just say if that is your best defense of him it's very weak and your opinions here are not "facts" but of course they are from a certain point of view.

All I am saying is he was put in an unfair no win situation.
 
I missed Folty's game today, I started watching the game after he was pulled. So I am watching the replay on MLB.TV account now. Folty looked better today but wow there was a lot of strike three calls off the plate. Flowers is one of the best framers and deserves credit but that ump also called some that weren't that close. The Goldy strikeout in the sixth for example was well inside. That said, good to see the plan Folty-Flowers had today mixing things up. That was a much smarter plan and boy Flowers sure can frame pitches well. I like watching him catch like I did Mac and Rossy in the past.
 
If Folty can turn into the pitcher we saw today consistently then the future rotation looks a lot brighter.
