He slammed his helmet after being called out on what appeared to be another infield single.

I read the other day that he's been dealing with blisters all year
Fried is still one of our best prospects.
I wouldn't say he's one of our top prospects. But he has an FIP slightly above 4 with a GB% over 50 from the left side. Plenty of time and chance for him to return to his form. And if he does he's up there.
I was concerned but apparently the blisters have been an issue this year. He has as high of a ceiling as almost anyone on the farm.
Blisters? I seriously doubt there are legs to that story. If there are, then it is complete a botch job by the management to allow him to continue to pitch. I think he had a bad first half. They are now taking him and Anderson slow to get them right. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Allard going 3 -4 innings his next few/several starts. I will never accept that Fried sucked because of blisters. I think Fried sucked because he was off mechanically.
Could be, but he was mega-dominant in the playoffs last year. 24Ks in 15 innings or some ****.

I am not crapping on him. I just think he had a bad year. Not into excusing it with Blisters. That shouldn't be a problem over 15 starts.
For Rich Hill it's been a problem over 10 years.
I am one of the biggest pozzie around. But I am not buying that he had blisters for 15 crappy starts. If he did then again we need to question the management for letting him pitch. It is really ok to say a guy had a bad year. Prospects do that sometimes.
