Let McCarthy at least finish the 6th and let Shane Carle pitch the 7th, and there's a good chance we win this game. Winkler and Viz were probably not available, but Carle has pitched multiple innings before and Minter has been better lately.

And it's not to early to trade for pen help.

Kelvin Herrera, Zach Britton, Brad Hand. Get one.

Lets Go Newk!!

 

[Mistaken4193]

So we placed Folty on the DL even though he said it wasnt bothering him anymore....Fuck That, just cut bait with McCarthy.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Come On Newk.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Nice getting out of it Newk.

Nice getting out of it Newk.

That was a rough start. Didn’t think would get out of that unscathed. Good job for him to strikeout last two guys and get out of it

 

[Mistaken4193]

Newk has really pitched well since the 1st.

 

[Chewbaccer]

We beat this guy 14-1 in Petco.

Now the only two hits were a little dribbler that barely made it to the outfield grass and a swinging bunt down the third base line.

And placing Folty on the DL if he doesn't really need it is complete bullshit.

And despite Acuna being healthy and feeling no discomfort, they keep pushing back his rehab assignment. There's such a thing as being too cautious.

Until they demonstrate that they're committed to give us the 25 man roster that gives us the best chance to win, I do not trust this front office. I mean, Phillip Evans is dominating in AAA. Sam Freeman can't throw strikes and when he does, they get hit. But one is still in AAA and the other for some reason is still on the big club.

We're gonna wind up standing pat at the trade deadline and we're gonna have to live with this shit bullpen.

 

[Mistaken4193]

FUCK YES CHARLIE!!

 

[Chewbaccer]

CULBERSON!!!

Is that allowed?

I thought he only hit walkoffs.

Snit still manages like he is in AAA being too cautious with everyone. It shows in how he babies our Starters. This is the Pros...you manage to win games and make the playoffs

 

[Mistaken4193]

Newk with 84 pitches through 6...Snit better not pull him.

CULBERSON!!!

[Mistaken4193]

Fuck..I hope this delay doesnt take Newk out.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Preventative measure y ass. When it starts pouring, get the tarp out.

You just pretty much guaranteed Newcomb won't go back out for the 7th.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Fuck..I hope this delay doesnt take Newk out.

It will. Doesn't matter how short it is either.

Nolan Ryan can throw 250+ pitches in a 13 inning complete game, but today's pitchers must be babied.

 

[gobigred]

Clutchberson. I like it

 

[Mistaken4193]

What happened to playing until you Had no other choice but to pull the tarp out??
