GTD 9/15: FINISHHH the Nats

Anibal being Anibal today--patient, moving the ball around and frustrating the @#$% out of hitters. He did it for us last year and is doing it TO us right now. Makes it pretty difficult to stage a comeback. Gotta give him credit.
 
Chip tells us "Freddie might be going now." I would've never guessed that since Freeman was on first base with two outs and a full count on Markakis.

I alreadly told you, look at his career numbers against them.

How are career numbers against a team relevant?

Teams change and Folty changed. His start where he got bombed earlier in the year should have an * as well since he was clearly off which is not the case now.
 
I think there is some splits vs teams consideration that is in play because I read somewhere that Ken Rosenthal said Teheran will be in rotation if it's St Louis and he tends to have good sources when it's the Braves.

I think it's legitimately shaky outside of St Louis for his rotation consideration. If its the Cubs maybe, if its the Dodgers, no. Last year if Colorado would've managed to win game 163, I think he'd have started then and he had a worst year last year.

More I think about it (haha), it's starting to make sense to start Folty and have Fried be the guy for when you're reluctant to have guys deeper than the 2nd time. He relieved in the postseason last year.

Look, y'all, we obviously should have made sure Anibal Sanchez never had an appearance against St. Louis last year, because Albert Pujols kills him. It's science.

When they are as terrible as Folty vs the Cards or Fried vs philly they are relevant, esp. when you have others with better and even strong numbers vs the same team that could start instead.

Record vs a divisional opponent has more merit because the sample size is much larger.

I just don't see how you can make an argument using starts from earlier in the year when Folty couldn't get minor leaguers out.

Teheran should start vs the Cardinals, but not against the Dodgers. He'd certainly started last year if it had been Colorado.

I didn't, I used his career numbers. You just keep saying I did, lol. I also combined that with the success of others in the rotation against the same team. Teheran is strong vs the Cardinals so he should start not even considering Folty's bad career numbers against the Cards. The whole start Folty game one isn't happening on a team with Soroka and DK.
