b will be getting the start in game three Michael Wacha Jersey , not Kevin Gausman, who was expected to make the start."Kevin Gausman was expected to take the mound on Sunday for the Atlanta Braves in Game 3 of the NLDS. Now, the Dodgers will face left-hander Sean Newcomb, who gets the start after pitching two innings of relief in Game 1.Newcomb has faced the Dodgers twice this year, but more notably on July 29, when he was one strike away from no-hitting LA. He found out today he would be getting the start, but knew it would be a possibility last night. “[Brian Snitker] came up and talked to me on the plane before we took off, let me know that that was a possibility,” Newcomb said. “So kind of get my mind right before I kind of went to bed.”Braves manager Brian Snitker talked about his decision to start Newcomb instead of Gausman. “We need to win Ozzie Smith Jersey ,” he said. “And not that Gausman doesn’t give us that opportunity. We like how Newcomb matches up with them and the success that he’s had against the Dodgers this year.”“So we’re going to let Newcomb get the thing off the ground. He felt good about it. And I told him that we need you to get this thing off the ground. You don’t need to take a no-hitter into the ninth inning with a strike left or whatever. We just want to get this thing flying and be all hands on deck.” In Newcomb’s other startversus the Dodgers, he lasted 5 1鈦? innings. He allowed five runs on seven hits, as well as allowing two homers. It’s been a rough two months for the 25-year-old. Since August 7, Newcomb owns a 5.68 ERA, while batters are hitting .276. “Obviously their backs are against the wall, and they feel it’s the best chance to give them a chance to win tomorrow,” said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. “So he’s had success against us. I feel that just some history and a little bit more familiarity, you know, I don’t know what to expect of his length tomorrow.”“Obviously it’s contingent upon how he performs. But I like the guys we’re going to run out there.”Roberts added that the decision hasn’t been made on just how right-handed the Dodgers lineup will be. During the season Albert Pujols Jersey , Los Angeles went platoon heavy, but that might not be the case Sunday.“There might be a little bit of a tweak or two because -- just appreciating the fact that he pitched a couple days ago, don’t know how long it’s going to go,” said Roberts. “They’ve got Teheran and Gausman in the pen. You just kind of never want to expose yourself to a complete line change.” Manny Machado’s new gloves, impatient Twins fans, and fixing free agency"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Twinkie Town Farm ReportSatire, Irreverence, & Other HumorGame RecapsTwins-day Links: Fancy Patches for Fake AnniversariesNew,31commentsManny Machado’s new gloves http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-marcell-ozuna-jersey , impatient Twins fans, and fixing free agencyESTShareTweetShareShareTwins-day Links: Fancy Patches for Fake AnniversariesAaron Doster-USA TODAY SportsIt’s been 150 years since the first professional baseball team was formed, and even though that actually has very little to do with today’s MLB, all of the teams will be wearing fancy patches for the occasion this season. If you’re a history nerd, Craig Calcaterra wrote an excellent summary of what 1869 means to professional baseball (spoiler: not a whole lot.)Rawlings released images of Manny Machado’s 2019 gloves. Of course they tried to make the color scheme a hint towards a potential destination for the superstar infielder. For the sake of “sign anywhere but our rivals,” lets hope its just coincidence. You know what would get me excited for Wednesday? An excruciatingly detailed “state of the bullpen” article! Good thing that is exactly what we get from Do-Hyoung Park, including a summary of what is new and who the closer could be.On the “Let’s fix free agency” beat, Sheryl Ring at Fangraphs explores the idea of adding a “restricted free agent” option to the current arbitration system, and it seems like one of the better ideas I’ve seen. I mean Roger Maris Jersey , is it possible to be worsethan the current system?Are you out of patience with the team? As development of the new core feels slow, and a lack of homegrown superstars pairs with a slow free agent market, Pat Borzi believes that Twins fans are losing patience, and starting to walk away from the on-field product.
