Jackson warmed up yesterday so I knew he's suck today.

His ERA is 3.10, which is still great, but man this game sucked for Newk. Growing pains
1. You don’t think the umps were gonna let us take 2 of 3 from the Yanks at home do you??
2. It’s pretty important to be able to grip the ball when pitching I hear lol. I don’t know why he was sweating so much, but I literally don’t remember any pitcher sweating like that...ever...what the heck.

Wow that was lucky on that missle.
I expect the Braves to make a run at some point
A #4 is literally defined as a .320 wOBA pitcher that throws 150-180 innings and produces ~2 WAR.
Oliver Perez is exactly what I project Newk to be. I’m sorry if you’re too dumb to know who he is and what he did. You should have looked him up before you decided to quote me in your sig.
Just keep that sig up hero.
I never actually thought Newcomb would stay under a 3 ERA, I think he finishes with a 3.5ish ERA or so but I actually think given this season's events there's mild hope that he can pull off a year or so, like Gio has of a 2.8ish ERA...if he can post a 3.5ish BB/9.
If not 3.5ish ERA is likely his best career seasons...with some over 4 with the real bad BBs seasons. That is how it goes with a guy that doesn't have perfect control.
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.
Maybe we should just rest FF and a few starters the rest of the way. This ain't our night
I project Newk to be Oliver Perez because they are almost identical pitchers based on stuff, age, and peripherals. Jonathan Sanchez was another very good comp. I explained it in detail a year ago. I would suggest educating yourself and reading it.
I’m sorry you missed it, but keep that sig up to document that I was right. Thanks!

Funny thing is ladies and gents, I honestly still feel like we win this one. Make sense? Nope.
The decline in Newcomb's strikeout rate has not gotten much attention, but is something that needs to be watched.
