Hopefully Sean Newcomb can put it together and raise his record to 1-1.

Newcomb was fantastic today. If he learns to keep the ball in the strike zone, he could develop into the ace that we need.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

YES THE BRAVES WIN 4-0! The first shutout of the Rockies at home since 1997.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

The Braves are 6-3 1 game behind the 6-1 Mets and 2.5 games ahead of the 4-4 Nationals.

Mets 6-1
Braves 6-3
Nationals 4-4
Phillies 3-5

Newcomb was great yesterday !! ... Julio scares me today.
Minor rant about Saturday night (and warning not a big Visciano fan) ... how can a major league pitcher facing a 3-0 count in extra innings with the bases loaded NOT BE ABLE TO THROW A STRIKE !!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate the strategy of managers using their closer in non-closing roles. It seemingly never works out. Even Kimbrel struggled in those situations. I also hate using him on the road when he might have a chance to close it out later. I put that one on Snitker for putting Viscaino in that situation.

Who would have thought at this point that the Mets would be 7-1 and the Nationals would be 4-5

 

[GTJake]

I think the NL East will be one of the most competitive divisions in MLB.
The Nationals and the Mets are the favorites, but I think if Kaplan can get out of the way the Phillies have a good ballclub ... and of course I hope the Braves can stay within contention.

I will be dancing in the streets if the young Braves win 82-86 games and anything above that would be gravy

The Braves lost 2-0 to the Nationals
