Newcomb looked good. We may be looking at a future star in the making.
Still 5 bases on balls, plus a hit batsman. He's gonna have to clean that up, but there's no reason he shouldn't be able to. 75% first pitch strikes, he knows where the zone is, he just needs to figure out what to do after strike 1! The 9/3 ground ball to fly ball ratio is encouraging for sure.

I know the game was pretty much decided, but the box score makes it look like Wisler had a decent outing as well. 3 innings of one-hit ball, and 9 of 11 first pitch strikes. They guy can pitch well if he can get out of his own head.

Wisler should make a good reliever. I like Newcombs potential much more than Sims. Once Newcomb figures out what his "out" pitch is and how to finish off big league hitters, he will be a good 2-3 starter. Sims just needs a bigger ball park to pitch in... Although ironically, neither him nor Teheran gave up a home run in Colorado. Go figure...

Sims kept the BB's at bay, and finally made it through the sixth. Hopefully that becomes a trend.

Flowers mentioned in the post game that he was having issues with his fastball command. Maybe he should rely on his secondary pitches more often!

You have to wonder what the Brave's season might have looked like, if not for Bartolo Colon and Jim Johnson. Between the two of them, they account for 11 of the Braves losses, and it seemed every time they took the mound this year they have put their team in a hole.

In case you missed it tonight, Johnson started the 8th inning with a one run Braves lead, and then gave up 4 earned runs on 3 hits, a walk, and a wild pitch. He did not retire any hitters...zero.

On the plus side, AJ Minter made his MLB debut tonight and retired the side in order with about 10 pitches...two strikeouts and a fly ball. He looks a little bit like a left-handed Craig Kimbrel in his setup and delivery.

Fine Braves win over the Rockies. Nice having Teheran getting his 2nd home win since his last home win way back in April, losing 9 straight at home between the 2 wins.

Teheran threw 69 of his 88 pitches for strikes and exited partly because his legs began to cramp in the eighth. He earned his first home win since April 14, in the first game ever played at the Braves' new park.




http://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=370825115

Teheran (8-11) snapped his streak of nine straight home losses, the longest in Atlanta history, as he limited Colorado to two runs and five hits with no walks in 7 1/3 innings.

Teheran improved to 5-1 in eight career starts against the Rockies and has sometimes been dominant even when he hasn't won. He threw seven scoreless innings while receiving a no decision in the Braves' 3-0 loss at Colorado on Aug. 14.

They are middle of the standings during the middle of a rebuild. I predict that they will end up 2nd in the division and that is pert good for what they have done in the past two years.

They are getting real close.

Jayce Blalock is a 13-year-old Little Leaguer from Peachtree City, Ga. He can also hit a baseball an absurdly long way.

Though Little League dimensions call for walls in the 200-foot range from home plate, Blalock may have doubled that with his moonshot grand slam in the first inning on Sunday.

Inciarte having a great game at the plate going 5 for 5 in the 7th-inning with a triple.

Considering the options available, I wouldn't mind seeing Phillips back at 3B next season. I like Camargo a lot, but I really see him as more of a super utility type player. And Riley and Maitan probably are September '18 call ups right now.
