Fedde vs ATL:
Davey Martinez’s message for Erick Fedde going into his 6/15 start against Atlanta in D.C. was essentially the same one he’s been pounding into the 29-year-old starter’s head all season: Don’t start nibbling or trying to throw wipeout type pitches when you get ahead in the count.
“We always talk about how he goes 0-2 to 3-2, and we want him to get better at that. Three pitches or less, as we always talk about. But when he does that, and he’s attacking the strike zone, his stuff is good, and he can keep us in the ballgame.
