POLL Pitching performances on Friday

[Chewbaccer]

Three pitchers on Friday pitched gems, who was the best. Vote and discuss.

Justin Verlander- 7 IP, 0 runs, 1 hit, 3 walks, 8 K's
Stephen Strasburg- 6 IP, 1 run, 3 hits, 0 walks, 10 strikeouts
Mike Foltynewicz- 7 IP, 0 runs, 3 hits, 0 walks, 7 strikeouts

I went the homer route with Folty.

All 3 of his hits were bloop singles, and it only took him 81 pitches to get through 7, and would have went out for at least 8 if we had managed more than one run when his spot in the lineup came up in the 7th.

Strasburg had the most dominant first 5 innings, but he started to wear down a bit in the 6th, and hes the only pitcher listed that allowed a run.

Verlander was great. I was tempted to vote for him, but Folty only had one less strikeout, and though Verlander only allowed one hit, Folty allowed fewer baserunners.

I might go with Folty especially in the context that he went 7 innings when the Braves really needed him to. Strasburg was great despite pitching several days ago and Verlander was just brilliant.

I'm going with Folty simply because we already know what the other two are capable of doing and there was much more pressure (imo) on Folty to pitch well based upon the rotations the 3 teams have

I changed my vote to Folty
