Nice job by Newcomb last night, hope he strings a few strong starts together that will help his confidence for the post-season.
Phillies play a double-header today ... let's pick-up another 1-1/2 games !!

Newcomb has the 2nd best stuff on the staff after Folty. He can be downright NASTY!

If he can find the zone.

Once again, Snitker pulls a starter who is breezing along after only 93 pitches to turn the game over to the Braves "stellar" bullpen. This has cost the Braves at least 5 games this season, and will cost them in any post-season (if they get there).

I HATE this tactic...despise it. Think Snitker is an idiot for continuing to use it.

So what happens if Newk comes out and gets crushed in the 7th. Dude has been terrible as of late and him pitching 6 innings of great ball is a huge confidence booster. If he goes out in the 7th and struggles those 6 innings of confidence boosting is gone.

You can say that about any pitcher Point being is that he has the stuff to win and win big at the major league level

Young pitchers don't trust the stuff, you see it over and over. Most get it figured out

Phils lose to the Nats in the first game of their doubleheader. Magic # down to 14. It may not be pretty at times, but this is happening fellows.

Phils lose to the Nats in the first game of their doubleheader. Magic # down to 14. It may not be pretty at times, but this is happening fellows.

This team is a lot like the 1982 Braves team that won the NL West with an 88-74 record.

10-9 Mike Foltynewicz is pitching for the 1st place in the NL East Atlanta Braves tonight while 6-10 Andrew Suarez is pitching for the 4th place in the NL West San Francisco Giants.

Phils leading the second game 5-3 in the eighth.

Folty is learning to trust his stuff. Pitching more efficiently is difficult for hard throwing hurlers.

 

[Buzzbomb]

Nats tied it in the ninth, still batting w/ bases loaded.

Folty with 25 pitches after 2 innings. On pace for a 112 pitch full game.

The Braves might be 6 1/2 games ahead of the Phillies later this evening

The Nationals could move to 1 1/2 games of the Pills.

Folty has got his good stuff tonight

 

[MikeJackets1967]

The Braves lead the Giants 1-0 in the 4th inning

 

[Buzzbomb]

Nit picking a little....like to see Flowers hit in the eighth spot instead of fifth. Lowest average, HR, RBI; a lot of K’s, of the starters.

 

[Buzzbomb]

Camargo left game with a groin injury. Those are tough, if they linger.

The 24-year-old Camargo has hit .310 with a .529 slugging percentage since the All-Star break. He leads the Braves with 55 RBIs since June 1, while his eight game-winning RBIs are second most on the club (Freddie Freeman has 11).

 

[Buzzbomb]

Folty on pace for 90 pitches(39 after 4 complete).

 

[MikeJackets1967]

Damn what hustle by Ronald Acuna!
