CLASS A

Rome, idle

[bravesfanMatt]

So Rio at 3B for G-Braves. Johan is not. I think that pretty much tells us who is coming up.

[bravesfanMatt]

I will tell you guys by the first inning if Newk is on or not.

[bravesfanMatt]

Well that was 3 piss poor ABs to start the first for Gbraves.

[bravesfanMatt]

my god minor league umps are so bad.

Watch sec baseball for a while and they'll look better

[chipchildress]

seems like newcomb only pitches in the mornings.

[bravesfanMatt]

lol.. maybe. But Newk threw a 1-2 curve that split the plate called a ball.. he eventually struck the guy out. The 2-hole hitter fouled off like 30 pitches but eventually grounded out. lazy flyout that almost got miss played to end inning. Newk will have a great day. He is mainly down in zone and his curve is looking good.

[CJ9]

Two perfect innings with two strikeouts for Newcomb. 32 pitches, 21 strikes.

[Enscheff]

We have been discussing Albies recently, and both FG and BP have blurbs saying exactly what I've been saying the last few days.

FG: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/insta...ect-notes-517/
Ozzie Albies, SS, Atlanta (Profile)
Level: Triple-A Age: 20 Org Rank: 2 Top 100: 11
Line: 3-for-3, 2 BB, HR

Notes
Albies’ statline at Gwinnett is unspectacular at first glance (he’s hitting .268 with a .315 OBP), but he’s the age of a college sophomore and keeping his head above water at Triple-A — and he got a late start this year while recovering from a fractured elbow. He’s also an impressive 13-of-14 on stolen-base attempts.

BP: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/ar...rticleid=31848
Hitter of the Day:

Ozhaino Albies, SS, Atlanta Braves (Triple-A, Gwinnett): 3-3, 3 R, HR, RBI, 2 BB, SB
I know you guys were freaking out a little about Albies to start this season. While he did not get off to a great start, calm your horses. He will play the entire season at Triple-A as a 20-year-old, 6.7 years younger than the average player in the International League. Could he be in the big leagues this season? Sure. But let’s not rush this.

[bravesfanMatt]

yes, he is on today. everything is hitting his spots or just missing. the offense on the other hand is god awful first trip through. I would love to see a few guys just take 3 strikes so they make Kipper work just a little today.

Bet he's up this year

Ozzie.. 1 pitch 1 out.. jesus Christ guys..

[bravesfanMatt]

I could never be a manager. I would be kicking water coolers, throwing bats at people. 29 pitches to get through 4 innings for Kipper. I would seriously be jumping their **** right now. A lot of balls out of the zone for easy ground outs.

[Enscheff]

I bet you're right. This FO is definitely that stupid.

[msstate7]

Newcomb...
4.0 ip. 1 h 0 er 0 bb!!!!! 4 k
Era = 2.61

If he can keep this up, we should cut collmenter, move colon to long man, and promote Newcomb

the one hit he gave up was a 'tip your capper'.. 0-2 curve that he hit off the dirt to the hole.

I think we'll see Newcomb and Sims after the deadline unless, of course, we are in contention for the post-season. In other words, we'll see Newcomb and Sims after the deadline.

[thethe]

Been saying it for a long time now. Newcomb has a non zero chance at being an ace.

Would rather ride the garbage we have until call ups personally.
