Yeah. I almost get the feeling Albies has Furcal syndrome. He's trying to hit HRs instead of slapping the ball around.Originally Posted by msstate7
Newk has all of a sudden lost a ton of zip on his fastball. What the hell is up? Is he okay?
Acuna ops is .857
You got this bet, Matt
Acuna is finally comfortable. Damn.
Uggla’s forearms are still as big as Jesus Aguilar.
He just has a natural uppercut swing. He hasn't really changed much, he's stuck around 40% FB for the most part the whole year, it just seems bad since if it's not in his wheelhouse it's medium struck flyouts or even pops.
The better question is should he be that, or should he actually be the guy we saw in his 2016 Mississippi/Gwinnett campaign, who was more of a 35% FB guy and much more patient. That guy has been gone for almost two seasons now.
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.
Newk looks awful. I hope he’s OK.
Another lapse of effort by Newcomb. For shame.

Less concerned that he is hurt and more inclined to think the brainless coaches are screwing around with him. Newk at 92-93 is not the same Newk.
Coppy
Blisters.
So tough choice for Snit today. Be patient with Newk to save the pen for tomorrow's DH? Or keep Newk on a short leash and go for the win?

Four days rest instead of five is most likely the culprit.

Another good outfield play. Crap
I'm glad that HR gave us the lead, but the best part about it is that it means I officially win my bet with Vegas. Wife and I will be taking a nice little weekend trip courtesy of the fine people of Bovada. Thanks RA Jr!

Get Luke Jackson up
I would burn some of the pen up today. Bring up some fresh arms for DH if necessary.

Are we really going to lose another game we likely should have won? Awful baseball this series.
Also, when Newk is bad, he's REALLY bad.
What win?
