GDT 6/15/19: Kill the Phills

Huascar called up.

welcome to the Majors kid. Glad Winkler was finally sent down.

Surprised they went with him given his numbers in AAA are bad. But maybe it is just for tonight to have another fresh arm if the game gets out of hand against us.

Would have rather seen Weigel.

You don't usually see a kid struggling in AAA called up, high ERA and batters hitting .299 against him. Makes me think this might just be for tonight.

Ynoa has a 5.63 ERA over five appearances (3 starts) for Gwinnett. He's on the 40-man and the Braves need some multi-inning depth as Newcomb enters tonight's start with a pitch limit of 75-80 pitches. Wright (started last night) and Wilson (started Tuesday) weren't available

I think it’s entirely because he’s on the 40 and it was his night to pitch tonight. Other 40 options (including Weigel and Parsons) had recently thrown innings.

I agree, they wanted an extra long man it seems. My guess is Touki pitches if we are ahead or close. If Newk has a train wreck of a game, then you might see the kid to save Touki for Sunday.
