3 hit game for Mallex.

That dude is super fast, he got thrown out at third but still, very few players could make that play, that close

3rd stolen base this season for Mallex

That dude is super fast, he got thrown out at third but still, very few players could make that play, that close

He's got amazing speed (ranked at 80) but he hasn't been the smartest base runner early in his major league career. Hopefully with more major league experience he'll improve over time.

 

[death2redemptions]

And the Braves actually beat the Cubs! It's a miracle.

 

[death2redemptions]

Folty was called back up and is starting tonight.

The Mets will be no easy task for him.

 

[death2redemptions]

Stubbs DFA'd
Jace Peterson & Withrow optioned to AAA

Folty called up along with a few other terrible AAAA players

 

[death2redemptions]

Leadoff single from Markakis

 

[death2redemptions]

And on cue, Daniel Castro grounds into a double play.

Which is too bad because Freeman follows up with a double.

 

[death2redemptions]

And as advo Garcia strikes out.

 

[death2redemptions]

Gets the Grandy Man swinging

Folty K Count: 1

 

[death2redemptions]

And then he gives up a home run to David Wright.

Welp....

 

[death2redemptions]

And gives up a hit to Conforto...

Folty looks rattled, he's overthrowing and either completely missing the strike zone or catching way too much of the strike zone.

 

[death2redemptions]

And he gives up a 2 run HR to Cespedes.

I think it's fair to say that Folty looks like crap out there. He's one of those guys who will just never become a legit major league pitcher. Whenever he is demoted to the minor leagues he pitches great but when he gets called back to the majors he's straight awful.

His fastball is flat with very little movement at all. Major league hitters are going to kill it all the time.

Oh yeah, he just gave up a HR to Duda...the 3rd in this inning. And a double to Cabrera.

Folty does not have major league stuff. The most he can hope for is to make it as a middle reliever but he probably won't last long as that either.

 

[death2redemptions]

He just missed giving up an extra base hit to Bartolo Colon.

 

[death2redemptions]

A.J. hits a leadoff double

Here come the strikeouts...

 

[death2redemptions]

On cue, Brignac strikes out.

 

[death2redemptions]

Aybar hits a single. Runners 1st & 3rd with 1 out.

Folty will strikeout

 

[death2redemptions]

Folty moves Aybar to 2nd on a sac bunt

Runners 2nd & 3rd with 2 outs and Mallex at the plate.

 

[death2redemptions]

Here comes the strikeout...

 

[death2redemptions]

And Mallex strikes out.

As advo.
