GG, you're getting more ridiculous by the post. Success is success, the pitching staff was very, very good and the young guys were making progress. That is not s,ucking at your job.
Is it really success though if you're getting your hands held? Because that was what Hernandez was having happen. He had his hands held by the front office making adjustments for Folty that helped him break out, bringing in an ENTIRELY different shifting deal with analytics, and so on and so on. It was the right place at the right time for him and he was lucky and NOT good.
I'm 100% sure that Folty is a mediocre pitcher and the Braves DON'T make the playoffs last year if the FO doesn't change over.
YES GG, success is success. Would you fire Nick Saban because some speculate Kirby was responsible for the defense ?
The year before Hernandez was hired the staff was 24th in ERA. He was hired in 2017 and we started bringing up the kids, the staff was 24th again. Then last year in Hernandez's 2nd year, young pitchers made progress and the staff had the 7th lowest ERA in MLB. You don't fire coaches after that kind of improvement without more cause than the notion other people assisted him.
Alright you two, get a room.
Shaky 1st inning for Kyle Wright, walked the bases loaded with 2 outs before getting strikeout to end inning with no runs. Listening to A-Rod and the ESPN crew is like listening to Beth Mowins or Gary Danielson call a Dawgs game. Had to get out my SportSync radio and tune in to the Braves radio broadcast.
Statement series for Philly.
Still 159 games to go.
Hopefully we will sign Kimbrel, and make another move or two to address our weaknesses.
If Hernandez was such a pitching guru and a miracle worker others would have been beating his door down to sign him as their pitching coach. That didn't happen. Wonder why ?
That should tell anyone reasonable all they need to know.
Gotta be able to throw strikes when you need to
