SUNDAY Sept. 16 vs Nats (Newcomb on hill)

[WaitingFor2017]

Hopefully they play it smart here and get at least 2 of these back.

[Julio3000]

Don’t have any real desire to see Newk start a postseason game.

All I've said is it could happen. Our lead is not as insurmountable with seven head to head left, a shaky bullpen and no idea what we will get in two-three more starts each from Julio and Newcomb.

I don't think it will but it can if we don't pick our **** up at Suntrust.

The odds of the Phillies taking at least 5 of 7 from the Braves is pretty low imo

[Horsehide Harry]

Why do the braves suck at home?

Got to lay off that significant other congress. It's bad for the legs. Ask Mickey Goldmill (aka Burgess Meredith from Rocky)

[bravesfanMatt]

You act like this is something that is fixable. This is Sean Newcomb. He can be brilliant in a game or like like ****. Backend starter that's useful while cheap.

To me and my technical brain it is repeatable. The fact the he does the same stuff when he sucks tells me there is a flaw or a hiccup somewhere. Maybe not. But it is not like he is just hanging sliders like wisler. He is just a different person from game to game.

Gonna make Roark look like a Cy Young guy today.

The reason you see absurd walk #'s from him in his pro careers shows me he can't repeat his delivery well.

[Braves1976]

thankfully we won game one as nats had to sweep, they cannot do that now

[bravesnumberone]

Way to go after the pitcher, kid. Jesus Christ.

[Braves1976]

holaday doubles, 3-1 miami still no outs

Phillies are unstoppable

[Enscheff]

5.5 game lead after today. Unfortunately, we have 7 more home games this week, so the lead could be all but gone on Sunday

Lol

[salmagundy]

Wright repeating what Newk did san HRs so far.

Beautiful play by Swanson gets the runner at 3rd, delaying more scoring momentarily.

[bravesnumberone]

Newcomb has sucked at home since the near no hitter. Could it be the heat giving him trouble?

[Enscheff]

The Braves just got back from a 6-1 road trip, and after a few less than awesome games folks are predicting the division lead being lost.

You guys are hilarious.

[salmagundy]

Walk a bunch Chuckie to mound again. after Wright issues his 2nd BBs of inning. 4 combined total so far.

I don't think anyone really is.

[The Chosen One]

Newk is FINNISH. Thankfully the pixie dust lasted for most of the season with him. Need to flip him in offseason.

[bravesnumberone]

Good job of working out of it.

[Braves1976]

Wright has good stuff, but sitting him 9 days is bound to cause such wildness.
