7/9 GDT: Atlanta Braves (42-44) vs. Washington Nationals (51-36)

[WaitingFor2017]

Why hasn't the slug, Chuck Hernandez, slowly made his way out to talk to Newcomb yet?

 

[CrimeDog247]

Newcomb looks nervous, very wild. He needs to calm down make his pitches.

 

[jpx7]

This looks like a series-split, given how Newcomb's begun things.

 

[jsebe10]

You can't throw hitters like Harper a 2-2 fastball right down the d*ck. Fck kid! This ain't Gwinnett

 

[msstate7]

Well the astros destroyed Newcomb. Wisler, Blair, or sims replace him next month?

 

[Garmel]

Newcomb is wild but he's also getting squeezed.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

The ump has a tiny zone. There could be some runs scored today.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

He isn't facing the Padres or Giants anymore.

After the break, his first two starts are against the Cubs and Dodgers, so it won't get any easier.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Why the hell did Markakis just throw home instead of to third? Gave up two bases.

 

[jsebe10]

No need to hit the cut Nick...you had him gunned. Fckn idiot.

Yeah, if it's not down the middle then it's getting called a ball. Probably 5 or 6 strikes the ump has called balls already.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Horrible play by Neck.

 

[Pugfan]

Well the astros destroyed Newcomb. Wisler, Blair, or sims replace him next month?

Replace Newcomb with the one of those clowns? Lol

 

[Enscheff]

Newk is trying to pitch inside to RHers since he can't throw a change away. Worked well vs Zimmerman.

 

[CrimeDog247]

Why the hell did Markakis just throw home instead of to third? Gave up two bases.

Have you ever played baseball?

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Have you ever played baseball?

Yes. Markakis has a candy arm and had no chance to throw the runner at home out.

 

[striker42]

Smallest zone I've seen this year

 

[Enscheff]

Have you ever played baseball?

What's the highest level you played?

 

[nsacpi]

Nook's got some life on the fastball...no one has turned on it

 

[nsacpi]

Yes. Markakis has a candy arm and had no chance to throw the runner at home out.

no chance on the guy at third either...hit the cutoff guy and keep Harper on first
