Flowers’ mitt and bat: doubly yuge bloom.

Yet another game for DPete to sit on the bench.
Is Newk gonna throw a strike?
Nats are not an aggressive team, and they aren't very good vs LHers. This will be a good test for Newk.
The strike zone is tight.
Criminy.
Nice...16 pitches and 5 strikes.
If this is what we're going to see all game, it's a very good indicator that nothing has changed for Newcomb and he got lucky with aggressive teams.
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.
Newk has been better this year, but nothing to me says he has fixed his mechanical/mental issues throwing strikes. He was still running way too many deep counts even when cruising.
Coppy
good damage control...could have been worse
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
And that's why you don't give up on newcomb as a starter... 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs vs this team with rendon having a 3-1 count... only 1-0.

I still think a sports psychologist could benefit Newk. He is great when he throws strikes consistently
Coppy
if Rendon hadn't swung at ball 4 would have been bases loaded no outs
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Albies is continuing to miss on pitches that he should get at of late.
