FFolty has no clue where it's going right now

Definition of stuff MOR guy. His velocity and movement is so good he overcomes his inability to locate.

didn't realize Folty is on a personal 7 game losing streak going into tonight.....ouch

Man, that curve was a bit of a hanger for me, but when you're pounding 97-98, no one is going to be able to hit that with authority when you mix it in occasionally.

Yea, one off the Braves record held by Miller and one other pitcher I think.

Yea, if they are looking for 97-98 they won't. But the problem is sometimes they will guess and get that hanger and it goes byebye. Hopefully Folty starts off with a win tonight to end that losing streak before he ties that record.

This kid Pivetta throws easy gas

 

[thethe]

Dude just can't locate

 

[nsacpi]

Not close to where Suzuki set up.

 

[Braves1976]

There's that straight fastball down the pipe on a 1-2 count, goodbye homerun.

It's not the straightness that's the problem IMO.

 

[Braves1976]

That and hanging breaking balls is a bad combo. It's how you lose 7 in a row.

 

[nsacpi]

There one one fastball in the first where Suzuki gave a target up and in and Folty painted the outside corner. That wasn't a good sign.

Yea, it's the location plus the lack of movement. Have to nail one or the other facet.

Yup...that was my assessment as well after the first inning.

 

[nsacpi]

Curve looks good tonight though.

Yea, it shows he doesn't know where it's going.

Umm, he has been hitting the edges of the zone pretty well so far outside of the HR pitch.

Both are important but a pitch that's moving in the zone will be hit more than a straight on the corners.

Unusually poor assessment from you.
