[msstate7]

But it's 2017.

Season away from cy young. He'll just finish 2nd this year

 

[cajunrevenge]

Is it mandatory that we start off down at least 1-0 before the bottom of the first?

No, sometimes we start down 2-0.

 

[CyYoung31]

Gyorko looks like my lawyer.

My real name is Avon Barksdale.

High hard ones seem to give Swanson trouble too. Not just sliders.

 

[cajunrevenge]

I kind of wish we would just send the pitcher out there and tell them just watch every pitch. Don't want him bunting or swinging.

 

[msstate7]

Probably expecting slider with 2 strikes

 

[nsacpi]

good job Folty

 

[Garmel]

Ton of baserunners and can't get them home.

 

[msstate7]

Would the real folty please stand up. Please stand up.

 

[msstate7]

Same ol' folty

 

[thewupk]

Well this one is over. Maybe Folty busts too.

 

[USMA76]

This is getting old...seriously.

 

[Garmel]

The hiring of Chuck Hernanez is really paying off.

 

[thewupk]

I think being a flyball pitcher is going to be really tough in Atlanta.

 

[nsacpi]

Why was McDowell let go? I have some vague recollection he took the fall for Wisler and Blair not progressing.

Probably the same reason Leo was let go.

Leo Mazzone-syndrome.

Sure looks like it. Short alleys and the ball seems to carry.

It's early and not a true indication of everything that is happening. But Julio's FIP/ERA are loads better on the road so far. All of his homers allowed are at home.
