    9/15 GDT

    Newk busted out the change in the 4th and 5th and the RHers didn't stand a chance. This is good to see.

    His change just dominated the 5th inning.

    He hasn't walked a batter.

    Very good to see.

    His best game of the season. If he and Gohara finish strong, we can dispense with signing a veteran pitcher this off-season.

    If he can consistently throw that change and keep his control... well, under control, he's got a shot. Big if's but it's definitely not too late yet

    Inciarte & Albies are a great combo at the top of the order.

    Basically nobody squares up Newk. It's just all about control and command with him.

    Bradford read the scouting report.

    If he does that he has a hell of a lot more than a shot.

    If some of this starting pitching clicks things could get real quick

    Newcomb has had a nice rookie year. He has his flaws, but he also has some really strong strengths.

    I really like Lane Adams. Think we found a real diamond in the rough. He's a perfect 4th OFer. He's come a long way after his really bad pick-off fest. He needs to stay on the team.

    Your research a few days ago showed Swanson handling the slider much better. This is still baseball and hitting is hard. I'm (Swanson's #1 fan haha) not worried.

    Don't really agree with pulling Newcomb there at all

    Edit...
    Well it worked out but you burned a reliever

    Apparently Kemp is out with an injured leg. Don't know if they said it on the broadcast or not
