Anyone watching?
No video, but Acuna gets yet another hit. Appears it was a infield single.
Newcomb at 95 against Donaldson

Acuna now batting .458 avg with 1.119 OPS.......watch us keep him down a few weeks and MLB get pissed at us again

Newcomb dealing now
How many lefthanded pitchers in the big leagues have Newcomb's stuff?
Franco hitting ball hard in ST
Decker has RBI single in 2nd, Braves 1-0
Franco leads off 3rd with DBL and is stranded as Albies lines out to SS, Swanson and Acuna both K
Well, 41 LHP threw harder than Newk in 2017. Another dozen were within 0.5 MPH.
A total of 190 LHP threw a fastball at the MLB level in 2017, so Newk is in the top 25% for velocity.
Of course he was #15 in BB/9 of the 355 pitchers who threw 50+ innings in 2017, so he's in the bottom 5% in control.
I said he has TOR stuff, yes. Unsurprisingly, you took that to mean "he has ace stuff".
The grades on his pitches are a direct calculation based on standard deviations from the mean of all MLB pitchers, adjusted for the fact he is LHed. That tells you exactly how many pitchers have better stuff.
Just be normal on occasion man. Not everything is a rah rah competition.
Newk gives up HR to Hernandez in 3rd -- 1-1
Riley HBP, Ruiz with HR -- 3-1 Braves in mid 4th
