How much more do we have to see of Newcomb in the rotation before we can admit what he is? Some of us have been saying it for a while now.

Duvall did sort of donk up that play on Hoskins’ single: came at it at a weird angle, then airmailed the throw to third. Should have been the first out.
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
Ironic thing is that’s one of the best stretches of control Newk has had early, and the results didn’t reflect it.
I wouldn’t mind if the announcers would stop talking about Newk at 93-95 as if it were anything special though. That’s pretty standard velocity in 2020.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Of course Chip thinks Duvall is a hot hitter. Chip obviously doesn’t know all Duvall’s damage has been done vs LHP.
Duvall struck out.
Lol
Fully agreed.Originally Posted by Enscheff
He gets good movement on his slider/curveball, but Chip and Co. act as if he's prime Jon Lester.

I think not playing Ender has probably been blessed, considering that I've seen it rumored that it was not Snitker's decision to start Keuchel game 1 of the NLDS, and he's been using Nick correctly so far. It's likely his decision here to not play Ender, but if the organization had any problems with it, I'd figure they'd have already stopped it.
The only thing that would be confusing here is if you're choosing to not play Ender, why not try Pache. Maybe that time will come soon though.
I can't imagine Newcomb's leash is going to be much longer either.
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.
Signing players who have gone through the Rays/Dodgers development program is a winning strategy, especially ones that were able to flee the Mets.

You HAVE to pull him here. Please, Snit
The Newcomb Experiment Version 3.0 needs to end.

He’s not even gonna get thru two is he....
I hate our manager the majority of the time.
I'm so ****ing sick of this guy...
Clearly unintentional. Newcomb’s control is devolving.
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
Yikes
Every Braves player should be required to wear that hand pad.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they try to throw at Freddie or something. Girardi is kind of a douche.
