I have never really been sold on newcomb. His early season success shocked me. I don't think he will be in the rotation long term after allard, soroka, wentz,touissant and co are ready.

He was a top prospect in the Angels system and a first round pick -- one thing I like about Newcomb is his coolness and mound presence He has had some control issues, a slump was comming but what we saw is more of what we can get for the future That 3 game stretch was bad -- he should have been called out for it more cause he sucked for those 3 games -- so so the last outing He and Folty do have that left/right punch at the top of the rotation -- it took Folty more time Now, if we can ever get Sorotka healthy - Gohara, do not know Lots happens w young pitchers -- they sometimes break down The middle of the pen is frustrating -- I like Minter and BIddle's potential and if Viz could ever stay healthy Freeman, Carle and others have to go -- they are not good

One would be wise to remember that deGrom never pitched in the majors until he was 26, and Aaron Judge didn't make the majors full-time until he was 25. It's stupid to start writing these kids off when they struggle a little bit.

Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, etc. NEVER had a bad game. People need to learn to use their macroscope a little more and their microscope a little less.

I mean, yeah Newcomb has had a rough stretch. So what? He's still 8-5 with an ERA of about 3.50. He just turned 25 years old. Sure, he could wind up on the junk heap of forgotten pitchers........or he could wind up pitching for the next 15 years and win over 200 games.

Hey, there's just no call around here for being rational.

Hate to say this but they do not get it together soon they are headed toward .500 -- this has been a bad July with no light in sight
The late inning magic is gone -- maybe they really overachieved -- what are they now 6 games under .500 for this month
Not good -- they have to get a good run in them soon or its another wait till next yr
No one seems able to step up and they have to get a starter of some kind -- and the mid pen -- not good
It began when Viz went down but its not the only reason -- hope he gets healthy but he cannot do it now
