You don't have to flame me, man

"Flash in the pan" is unfair to Fried, though. I get it.

frick this thread popping up to the front page just pissed me off all over again with how epically everyone from FO, management and the players choked away an historic season.
I remember a few months back saying that this season shouldn't be viewed as a failure if our baseline finish was a loss in the NLCS in 6 or 7 games. Truthfully, I was setting myself up to rationalize this season if we didn't win the world series despite having the best team in baseball. But to go down in 4 games in the NLDS to the same division opponent that took you out in the same spot last year... complete and total failure that overshadows everything else that was accomplished this year.

Fried has been a great regular season pitcher for the Braves since becoming a fulltime starter, but if folks looked at his postseason numbers and game logs objectively they’d see that he hasn’t been the reliable ace that the team needs. It’s basically been 50/50 on whether he’s been good/great or a complete shite show. You can point to health, but that’s a part of the reliability equation as well, fair or not.
And this is coming from someone who’s had Fried as his favorite of all the pitching prospects that were accumulated during the rebuild via trade or draft.
