The G-Braves wasted no time replacing Sean Burnett, who demanded his release. Lucas Harrell, a right-hander who spent five years with the White Sox and Astros, made his AAA debut Saturday.

He was recently released by the Tigers after six minor league starts (3-1, 3.86). Harrell is most notable for leading the AL in losses (17) in 2013, Houston's first year in the new league. He has a career major league record of 18-33. He was 11-11 in 2012.
 
Shae starting the game for Rome tonight. With how Augusta has been hitting against us this year, I assume he's gong to get destroyed.
 
Swanson just hit his second triple! He's 2-3 on the night and heating up again.

Newcomb is pitching pretty horribly but finding a way to groove out of each inning.
 
Newcomb 70 pitches to get through 3 innings is crazy bad. I hope he stays in the minors all year next year. He really needs to work on just getting the ball over the plate and trusting his stuff.. I think he trys to K everyone, so he nibbles too much.

Crimson, can you tell if he is missing badly or is he just trying to nibble and get hitters to chase? seems every video I see of him, he is toying with hitters and gets himself in trouble.

Newcombe with a Houdini act. Walked the bases loaded in the second with no outs, then got two strikeouts and a groundout.

Thanks for the in-person updates. Any insights on Newcomb's mound presence? As a guy who seems like he's gonna get in and out of a lot trouble, does he keep a pretty even keel?

Several pitches he has just missed. There have been a couple, a wild pitch included, that he missed badly. The majority have been close, but indeed missed the zone.

There were a couple of times he seemed to show frustration. But, he's gotten through it. But he has been wild. Coincidence or not, the music playing as he warms up for the 4th inning is "Born to be Wild".
 
We have a bad lack of control problems in the minors. That's why I wouldn't be upset with a stud arm at 3 in the draft.
 
I don't get why we have all of these high ceiling arms... But cannot get them to curb the control/walk problems at all. Honestly I don't think we do a very good job of developing hitters or pitchers. I know we've always been a pitching developing team, but we haven't done a great job in a long time.
 
Hursh was really good tonight with 3.1 innings of solid work. His ERA is down to 3.47. After a rough start, he's been really good.
 
Albies was 0-5 tonight. I'm not sure if he destroyed the ball or not, but that sucks after he's been very good over the last week.
