One of the key elements of this Atlanta Braves surge during the Summer months has been the performance their starting pitching. The hope is that they can keep it going.
Of course, even as that’s being said, Brian Snitker removed Mike Foltynewicz after 5 innings on Tuesday night for no obvious reason… though it could be for the kind of reason that we’ll talk about here: extra rest.
UPDATE: Brian Snitker took him out for precautionary reasons as Folty looked spent and reported that he’d nearly passed out a couple of times.
