Lets bring Sam Freeman!! To finish the game...
I think you have to let him go for it. You also have to have someone ready as soon as a runner reaches.
Might need someone from AAA make a spot start in order to give Newcomb an extra day of rest.
Nationals just lost.
Phillies down 4-0 in 9th but have bases loaded and 2 out for Knapp
Regardless of what happens in this start, this game plus some acquisitions might start a run.
We can only hope
I'd have Minter up in the 9th but until this ends it appears he'll let him go for it, even if it means throwing 130+. The response from him throwing more pitches than normal for him might just be to limit him next start and push him back more.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
PHILLIES lose
regardless of how Snitker chooses to handle this situation, and regardless of what happens if/when Newk goes back out there - pretty baller performance from Sean today. The team desperately needed a start like this, he's given it
Will this potential layoff be too long for Newcomb at 117 pitches?
Have to send him out there
Ivermectin Man
As bad as things are, will only be 1.5 out from Philly, and tied in the L column if Braves hang on today.
Need to have Minter warming up just in case
