Going to say this. Win or lose this game is a success because Folty is showing he is still Folty. Maybe he collapses in the 5th but we still saw what he can do. This starting rotation is legit right now.

You put Folty (if he’s right), Soroka, Fried, Gausman, Julio...that’s not bad at all.

He isn’t a center fielder to me (makes too many mistakes). Pache....he is.

We've discussed his defensive instincts previously in these threads and his are lacking to say the least. I don't know how much he can improve but I'd be shocked if he ever becomes an above average CF let alone "elite."
 
Is Acuna just going to be a streaky hitter? I guess it doesn’t matter how he gets there as long his end results are the same.
 
I wouldn't be able to dig it up but I remember reading something that said that Acuna's wOBA vs high velocity (95+) last year was meh. If he connected on it, it was good, but he often didn't.

Needless to say, he swung right through a 96 MPH fastball that was right down Broad Street on the first pitch that at bat.
 
Are we ready to get him out of lead off then. Clearly he is going to be streaky at any position in the batting order. Might as well make it a better RBI spot.

He has looked bad, but Mikolas appears to be pitching his butt off...well...or we are making him look that way. A lot of bad swings to go around.
