Jeez, Newk. Another horrible pitch. Just stop.

They keep getting weak hits.
Acuna is pretty much terrible at every level of defense.

Just stupid pitching. Lol glad to see we’re gonna screw another lead.
That was a bloop.
Last two hits were positioning hits.
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.
A definite uptick in the number of non-competitive pitches from Newcomb today.

A 4+ BB/9 even before this game tells me that he's been very wild.
And yes, the last two hits were bad positioning hits. They both had hit probabilities under 50%.

Newk has been feasting on aggressive teams. It was never sustainable.
I really was expecting a strong throw from acuna on that play or at least keep runner at 2b. That throw was weak for even markakis

Please keep that sig. thanks.
I’m not making any excuses today. He’s pitched really damn awful. Luckily, he’s been way better than worse most of the year.
I sure will.
He's going to start facing bad offenses again after this game so he'll likely do fine again.

Swanson on base again!
Swanson another hit. Not on fastball
Dansby's definitely keeping up his end of the baergain.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not excusing poor command, but Swihart's hit was a bloop that poor positioning hurt him on. He shouldn't go back out and I'm not sure what to do pen wise.
Nice hit by Acuna.
