can't be comforting as a SP to work yourself into a bind and then be removed and replaced with Joel de la Cruz...yikes
Nah. Looks like he didn't like the team wasting the lead off triple in the top half. I will listen to fried later.
Yeah. That is the truth.
Ahh, De La Cruz...another guy with mediocre stuff that posi-Braves claimed "just knew how to pitch". I remember being burned at the stake for saying he was garbage.
Well then.
Knew how to get 2 guys out. That is all I care about. And who said he was good? Maybe that was before my time.
I always hated De La Cruz in Bonnie type territory.
Well he just got 2 guys out for Newcomb, so that is good.
Who the heck ever hyped up De La Cruz?? Another made up delusion I think

The Cruz we all know and love did finally show up.
I can't stop laughing at this post.
What in the heck
I don't think this ever happened. Calling Bull ****.

Went over to the game for the first 4.5 innings on my lunch break, Newcomb looked good. Much better than his outing earlier this year in Norfolk, working down in the zone, not much hard contact (as mentioned earlier, the Tides first hit was an 0-2 breaking ball the hitter just threw the bat at and ended up with a placement infield single). Sprinkled in a few more change-ups than last time, but he was pretty formulaic, trying to get ahead with a first pitch fastball, typically followed by a second one then aiming to bury a breaking ball in the dirt. Was effective, although I thought the Tides played into his hands a bit (not aggressive early in the count, overly protective once behind). Left before he got into his jam it looks like.
Also caught some of the game last night. Blair did not look as good as his line - bounced a number of pitches (a couple well in front of the plate), some hard contact that found gloves in the outfield. Nice to see him get some good results, but I would be cautious about reading too much into it as a turnaround absent further evidence. Albies HR was a nice shot, he looked solid at the plate, taking some pitches. Not impressed with his arm today in warmups between innings at SS in terms of accuracy or strength, but it was warmups, so likely meaningless.
Then it was a success.
Albies now 2-4 with a walk and no strikeouts today.
Albies is learning to walk and is reducing the Ks. Very important things for a guy with little power.
