Viz gets my trust back after that easy inning. Could have swept the series. Off to Washington where I think Teheran, Folty, and McCarthy are going to give us some good starts.

Viz was more aggressive with the FB today. I think it was a great idea to bring Viz back in today in this situation. 4-0 lead so not a lot of high leverage pressure.

Best sign from Newcomb today? Of his 9 strikeouts, exactly zero came off the breaking ball. He really showed excellent command of his fastball and changeup today.

Yep... I was thinking that his hook has so much break to it that maybe part of the problem was an over-reliance on it. It was great to see him trust some of his other stuff as out pitches, and command that fastball.

I agree that the K's are a good sign, but not the best sign. The best sign was 6 IP and 0 walks. Today was the day he showed that the Jon Lester comp is legit.

It’s obvious he has the stuff to cause swings and misses. He’s just got to be able to throw strikes.
