Positive Thinker Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 A four game series and we avoid Lester. Cubs are hitting on all cylinders. Gonna be tough this weekend. My main wish is that Shelby can get a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychic Gibbon Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hopefully Wisler and Perez can get back on track this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jidady Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The last two pitches show why Folty has the potential to become a wipeout closer.Of course, right as I type that, he leaves one up that gets roped for a single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K26dp Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 The last two pitches show why Folty has the potential to become a wipeout closer.If he can do that for multiple innings, why limit his value to only pitching 2-3 innings a week?

jidady Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 If he can do that for multiple innings, why limit his value to only pitching 2-3 innings a week?I just don't think he can. I'd love him to prove me wrong, but two straight good pitches from Folty makes me happy at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K26dp Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Well ****. How did Rizzo even get enough wood on that ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jidady Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Frustrated as he has to be after this nonsense, Folty can't show up the ump like that. I really like that Fredi got himself tossed sticking up for his rookie, though. That's something he learned from Bobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jidady Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Yup. He's got explosive movement tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jidady Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 In re-watching it, my favorite part of Fredi's ejection is the Cubs hitter shaking his head in disgust at the umpire ejecting him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jidady Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'm reminded of that scene in Major League where the manager doesn't pull Charlie Sheen, wanting to see how he responds to adversity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jidady Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 C'mon Folty....He's maddening. He'll have all kinds of movement, and then he'll throw a "slider" that flatlines over the heart of the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jidady Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 If he could throw that pitch consistently, he'd become a perennial All-Star. 99 that touches the smallest part of the corner possible is mythic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive Thinker Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Yep. It's like he loses concentration.I really wish we had a better catcher.How is Bethancourt doing at Gwinnett? Heard he has great potential and will be our catcher of the future. ......I think AJ is the perfect catcher for this young staff. The right man at the right time to guide these young lions.
