[Carp]

Amazing he's given up only 2 BBs given how he his 1st inning went.

You knew we'd at least have a chance when he got out of that mess while only giving up a single run.

Newk is on fire right now!!

 

[nsacpi]

very nice outing for Newcomb

 

[jpx7]

Contrary to Joe and Jeff’s inclinations, I’d pinch-hit for Newcomb and hand the final two innings to the pen.

 

[nsacpi]

I'm guessing Minter for the 8th to face Turner and whatshisname. Then Winkler for Rendon. That's how I would do it.

me too...but it wouldn't be a terrible move to let Newcomb face Turner and Harper

 

[Garmel]

Yep. However, with this strike zone the ump has I don't think Newcomb will have a very good night.

Me dumb. Seriously, with even Roark having issues with a tight zone(4 walks) who thought Newcomb was going to pitch this well after the first inning he had.?

Can't believe Swanson swung through those 2 fastballs

 

[thethe]

If you believe in newk as an ace you let him start the inning

 

[nsacpi]

strikeout rate is killing him

 

[UNCBlue012]

I would have let Newk go another. Whatever, great start!

 

[jpx7]

Weak PA by Bae. :/

At this point--solid pitcher with considerable upside, yes...ace, no

He rarely strikes out on fastballs belt high middle to middle in

If he weren’t slated to bat, I’d have left Newcomb in.

It's a serious question if his timing is there/is he 100%. As there's a lot of flaws with him but both of those pitches are mistakes he hammers if he's fully there.

Yea that’s usually his wheelhouse.

Albies is the best
