based on his stuff, in my opinion, yes. His numbers haven't shown that yet, but I think this will be his breakout year in that regard.

Hiccup tonight obviously but I Don't think these nights will be common for him. He was juiced af. I don't blame him.

The stuff is there and it's hard to accept reality with arms like these but mentally I think we have seen enough to know what he is. He's a guy who could shut down the Astros one start and get bombed by the Marlins the next. Not the type of guy I want pitching meaningful games for my team but he's certainly tantalizing.

Maybe one day things all come together for him, but when he is getting visibly agitated on the mound in the 2nd inning of a game he leads 2-0 because he's not getting a borderline strike 100 starts in to his career it certainly concerns me.

I've been pretty impressed by his bounce back in this game.

Very impressive bounce back by Folty, imo.

Hopefully he learns to control his emotions in the future, but he's pitched well tonight besides getting rocked in the 2nd

He had a bad inning. Sucks. But this offense can overcome

Camargo would have made that play.

He has been like that since his first start with the Braves. I think he could be a very solid pitcher for years to come if he wouldn't let things bother him to the point where he loses focus on making the next pitch.

We're fine. Bruce Bochy is a different level manager. He finds wins. Gotta reload tomorrow.

Bats' defense looked average early but really good as the game progressed
