[UNCBlue012]

LET'S GO BRAVOS!!!

 

[50PoundHead]

You beat me by seconds!!!!!! We'll go with your thread so people will ignore my lame joke about elves and dwarfs.

 

[UNCBlue012]

hahah I'm fine either way! It's paper thin tonight.

 

[50PoundHead]

Aybar.

 

[UNCBlue012]

At least Aybar has played well over the month.

Philly Phanatic was making fun of this Francoeur play from last season....

[UNCBlue012]

Jace Peterson took his horrible night yesterday and is 2-2 today!

 

[UNCBlue012]

Dude is killing me. He's pitching pretty roughly, but he's getting through it

 

[UNCBlue012]

Of course. He struck Asche out... Don't count it, then he gives up a homer. Horrible player Asche is too.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Folty can be so frustrating to watch. He has all the stuff he needs to be a bonafide ace but he still seems to struggle with keeping it together mentally. The second one thing goes wrong he loses focus and everything starts snowballing on him.

 

[Russ2dollas]

Folty gives up hr like its his job

 

[msstate7]

This team is so hard to watch

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

I thought Home Run Derby wasn't until Monday night

 

[DaneHill]

Jeez, is he tipping his pitches or what? Man, they are just teeing off on him.

 

[msstate7]

We really need to think hard before trading Teheran. Other than wisler, I'm not sure any of our pitching prospects above AA will be good MLB starters

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Bullpen mismanagement again. There's no harm in letting Folty finish the 6th with 2 out, no one on, and 87 pitches in a likely lost ballgame. If he lets another runner on, then yes. It will be mismanagement if Snit is bringing in a guy for ONE batter.

Not only that, but nothing that really builds any enthusiasm in the free agent class.

Maybe Folty is trying to get one of the boys hitting in it to allow him to throw to them? Look what I did against Philly's line-up, you want to win homerun derby you need Folty!

Only guess I have is maybe they wanted Folty to finish the game on a positive note so they took him out after the strikeout.

Damn, Ender crushed that.
