That missed ball four cost Ender a three run homer
The decline in Newcomb's strikeout rate has not gotten much attention, but is something that needs to be watched.
I thought it was a strike. Dang shame one of the best pitches of the night froze Swanson there
The push/pull between declining stuff and improving command is what Newk will be dealing with. I think he ultimately ends up being Oliver Perez.

Nats most 11-4. Holy crap they’re bad
I like the Jonathan Sanchez comp more...Sanchez had great stuff...and stretches when it looked like he was gonna be really good
Entering tonight his K9 was down 1.01 from last season, and his BB9 was down 1.26 from last season. I'll gladly make that trade
sure...but it would be even better if the k rate holds up while the walk rate comes down
Wait...German was cruising through the lineup twice.
How could he suddenly struggle the 3rd time through???
