Braves are +46 in run differential which is first in the NL
Apparently, Swanson has been going while hurt for a while:

That explains a lot.
Fun fact of the day: Newcomb's walks per nine innings is now under 4. I doubt it'll stay there but he has made good progress with his control.
Been that way since he was acquired. Need to look past one number.
Until Newcomb fixes that mechanical issue that has him suddenly start missing, badly, he's likely a back end starter that is going to tease you...just like Foltynewicz. And because of that, people are going to continue to moan about no Andrelton.
Honestly, unless he becomes a legit ace it's going to continue even if he has fixed his walk rate to where it's around 3.5 BB/9.
No, I don't. At 5 BB/9, I don't like him (or anybody else). At 3 BB/9, which he's been his last 4-5 starts, I like him a lot.
All about the walks. I think it is safe to say that it won't get worse and it looks like it might get better.
Newk is legitimately underrated by this board. He’s been awesome this year.

Newk would legitimately have to become Lester, Hamels, Price or better for me not to want to unmake that trade. If he's just another Gio (a popular comp lately), then I'll be pleased, but I'd still want Simba over him.
