Man, we have had so many mediocre relievers with underwhelming stuff who became board whipping boys, and pretty much all of them were better than Sean Newcomb.
I don't know what Snit saw in the 4th inning from Newcomb that made him think "I'm going to send him back out in the 5th". He punted a PA to possibly get one more inning from Newk.
If you didn't want to use a position player PH, use Fried to PH.
