GDT, Tues 7/3 vs Yanks

[Heyward]

Was anyone here honestly expecting a hit

He swung 2-0 on a ball, would have been 3-0 then he would have walked, and Camargo is up with them juiced.

Thats probably the chance to comeback with NY's top dogs coming in now.

Jackson sucks, but we don’t really have a choice but to keep him in there and hope for the best.

The call up from AAA

[Heyward]

The Braves have came back from a 6-0 deficit to make it 6-3, and folks are bitching.

Wow...

Well that was probably the chance to comeback.

Not in the 5th with aspirations to tie it.

We have luke Jackson in there. Has to be on par with Luke, at least

[Enscheff]

Well that was probably the chance to comeback.

Well it’s the 5th and Chapman probably isn’t available.

The Braves weren’t going to come back in 1 inning.

Flowers AB was so important because at times when the offense has innings like that...they go completely dormant the rest of the game.

Since 2000 there have been 3 guys other than Newk who pitched 100+ innings in a season with a K/9 over 9 and a B.B./9 of 5:

Oliver Perez
Jonathan Sanchez
Daniel Cabrera

All 3 were guys folks kept saying “he has such great stuff, he just needs to figure out his control”, which is why they were allowed to pitch 100 innings.

Baseball has seen pitchers like Newk before. It’s highly probable he follows the same general career path as the ones before him.

Gio Gonzalez did basically that very same thing his 2nd season. A mere 1.1 innings away from qualifying for your abritrary threshold. I brought up several other examples the last time you brought this drivel up. Fact is, of the guys you listed, only Oliver Perez had even 1 season with a BB rate under 4. Newk is poised to do so in only his 2nd season. The improvements he has made over the last year have been tremendous. He may never be a legit ace, but I'd wager he'll be closer to a 2-3 rather than a 4-5, barring injury.

What are your projections for Newk?

If all I came up with was drivel, surely yours will be much better. We will review who was right when the time comes.

Jackson's done alright keeping us in the game. Pitch count at 51. We'll see Phillips or Carle next.

[Braves1976]

i think we had our shot last inning and flowers ab cost us, they still have a good bullpen without their top two

[Braves1976]

baltimore tied philly 2-2, hope they somehow win tonight as i think philly wins both games otherwise

Lol

Offenses go dormant all the time...

Have any data that shows leaving the bases loaded negatively impacts the offense the rest of the game?

[USMA76]

Surely we see the call up pitcher tonight, right? Nah, sam freeman lol

Freeman got a night's rest. More than enough.

[Braves1976]

camargo did his best flowers impression, that is how you lose

[CyYoung31]

Garbage ABs

[msstate7]

Jeez... pitch selection

[Julio3000]

wtf Dansby?

[Braves1976]
