re: 2019 Atlanta Braves season long in-game thread

so in real time, I was of the opinion that Newcomb needed to be taken out immediately after giving up the HR, HBP, and incredibly hard hit single down the 3B line. I thought he clearly didn't have it and I said as much during the game thread on the MSB.

Then he appeared to settle down after the failed sac bunt and the lineout to RF. He got 3 straight nasty curves over for strikes and looked more comfortable. I'm not sure why Snit decided to then take him out.

All that said, Newk deserves as much of the blame if not more than Minter. The hit that he gave up to surrender the lead was pretty weakly hit, and Markakis was playing so deep that he had no chance of getting it.

Oh well, 2 of 3 is fine.
