    That was a great 4th inning

    This is what Newk has in him. Its what he's always had. Big left handed pitchers sometimes need some additional experience to get the wildness out.

    We haven't seen the end of Newks development. Not even close.

    He's had no feel for that pitch all day.
    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.

    Agreed. I’m very anti-John Hodgman on this score.

    Considering the conditions, a good start for Newcomb.

    I'd consider taking him out here with the big lead.

    Another quality inning from Newcomb when he doesn't even have his best stuff. Great to see

    This game seems like a good game to get Moylan one inning and let Jackson finish the last two innings -- assuming Newcomb makes it out of the 6th.

    I don’t know about you guys, but I feel like the weather conditions might be a mitigating factor when evaluating Newcomb’s performance today.

    Minus the Nats game, Newk has been damn impressive.

    Fantastic game all around. Ozzie turning into a superstar, Newk turning in a solid performance so far, Dansby hitting once again... just all around great game.

    I wonder if defensive metrics are able to account for shifts.

    I had a feeling, especially with the bad curve, that Newcomb was just done in the 5th.
