Was going to say 3 but it’s 4 in 60 games.

Folty is 2 k's away from a 200 strikeout season!

I can't remember the last pitcher we've had who posted 200 k's in a season...must have been over a decade. Smoltz put up 211 k in 2016 and we really haven't had a strikeout (starting) pitcher ever since.

Couldn’t either but it was Javier Vazquez in 2009.

Same team that swept us in 2013, right?

I think we lost in 4. I just remember that shot of Kimbrel standing there in the bullpen ready to go while David Carpenter lost the game for us.

Seems right. I was at the one game they won at Turner. Crazy to think that was 5 years ago.
