Nice 1-2-3 shutdown inning against the heart of the order for Newcomb too.

That first inning means he's only getting 5 innings today, but with the AS break, it's all hands on deck today.

That's a sign of mental toughness that will bode well for Newk down the line. A lot of young pitchers would have completely imploded after that first inning.

Maybe he's been having some conversations with Tom Glavine who was notorious for having first inning struggles.

Joe Ross is done for the day.

Roark can't go today. We're gonna get a lot of innings against this Nationals pen. We need to take full advantage.

Thanks Newk.

Even as a rookie, you should never lead off an inning with back to back walks, much less twice in the same fucking game. Get your shit together.

Nats are gonna get a big enough lead that their BP can't blow all because Newcomb decided to walk the first two batters of an inning for the second time this game.

Even if you're a rookie, I'll never excuse walks. Throw strikes.

Could have been a lot worse.

Extremely lucky we only gave up 1 run. We were about an inch away from that hit being a 3 run homer, and even then, I don't know how they didn't get two on that hit.
