Yes the Braves have several starters in the range that Burmgarner is pitching right now. Their names are Julio, Fried, and Gausman.

Good stuff, Newk!
Bumgarner has a 84/17 K/BB ratio, certainly pretty good.
What Newc is doing is so valuable. With starters working fewer innings I think having long relievers who are not just mop up guys and can spot start is important. The bullpen worked 6 yesterday and today could have gotten out of hand.
Not watching live, but following on Gameday and I can't remember a time when Newcomb had a 40/15 strike-to-ball ratio.
I understand giving Newk an opportunity to start but dude is a freaking weapon in the BP.
Great job by Newk, he's probably unavailable until Thursday unless he's starting for Gausman this weekend.
Albies again!!
Ozzzzay went bippity boop!
Not letting guys reach base is the most important quality. Im ok with a guy thats aggressive but lets up some hard contact.
But if you want a guy that is afraid to be aggressive and then gets hit by sequencing luck often then be all means grt lost in atats without understanding them.
Newk looks like he wants back in the rotation. Folty better watch out.
