I'm trying to stay hush hush but the walks cause a twofold problem...and honestly that twofold problem gets worse when you have a much better hitting club that knows they're better off to just hold the bat because they'll get walks and eventually a cookie to hammer.
Simple story, Newcomb throws more strikes period or he's not a starting pitcher.
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.
Why do teams not run constantly on us? Bob Horner could steal on the braves

Wish we would have topped Brewers deal for Cain
We have a fair amount of starting pitching depth. Allard in AAA. Gohara currently in the pen but pitched 5 innings in his last start in AAA. Fried, McCarthy and Soroka currently on the DL and due back at varying points later this year. I think that's a fairly low priority. Newcomb's recent struggles do not change anything in that regard
Pen does need a situational lefty.

Ventura's Stolen Bases
Buts not like the first 15 starts this year don’t count. Is he that good, no. Is he this bad. No. They would be like saying Ozzie was the player he was during his bad stretch. Obviously he’s bounced back and is back raking.

Ball hit hard there by Dansby. Good sign. Hopefully

Ventura's Stolen Bases
Feels like we could have double switched Santana for Culberson and keep Jackson in the game

Big outing for Gohara, honestly even if this ends up truly garbage time. Can he throw a good 2 innings?

Newk's FIP and xFIP numbers very little changed from last year. Slight improvement in walk rate offset by slight decline in K rate.

Nice effort, ender
Shame on Ender. Should pull him out of game.
