My guess is Jenkins starts for Gwinnett, Gant called up to start tomorrow against the Fish.

I want to see some good control out of Newcomb tonight. The BBs are the only thing standing between him and the majors right now. His BAA is an excellent .236 and his .311 BABIP shows that's legit. He's striking out a batter an inning. He's great at keeping the ball in the park. He's got everything you want except control. I still have high hopes he'll improve his control. When his mechanics are good he's able to locate. It's when his delivery gets out of sync that he struggles and the walks come in bunches.

Five innings of one-run ball by Povse with two walks and 10 Ks. Time for him to take Barker's spot in Mississippi.

Two scoreless innings of relief with five Ks for Josh Graham in Rome. I really like him. Former catcher at Oregon, he was our fourth rounder last year.

With improved command, this guy could legitimately be a Jon Lester type of lefty that slots in at the top of a roation.

I agree with Jim Callis about Newcomb (listen to his interview with Bill Shanks recently covering the draft).

Not a bad start, only problem with the start is he had a lot of deep counts. Hopefully he cable arm to cut down on those

I believe it will eventually click for Newcomb. He has a good easy delivery that is very repeatable. Imho, playing for a small college really stunted a lot of his growth.

Hopefully you're right, I am not saying he will or won't but whether it does click for him or doesn't I don't see the often repeated Lester comps. Lester didn't have as many issues like this as Callis noted in that interview.

Yeah, Povse has definitely earned a promotion.

yep. time to see what he can do at the next level.

anybody know how hard he's throwing these days?

I was there Friday night and according to the stadium gun (take it with a grain of salt), he was topping out around 91. Was consistently between 88 and 90. Seemed to my untrained eye that he was throwing a little harder than that. May have just seemed that way since he's so tall. Most of his 10 k's we're due to throwing the ball by people.

where are the math geeks here to tell us how much advantage a guy with his height has? a 92 mph fastball must seem a little faster, no?
i've read he was touching 97 in some article last year. no idea if that's accurate, but to me this guy is one of the most interesting prospects in the system. 6'8" with control and a hard moving fastball shouts out big leaguer to me.
