To this point, the Atlanta Braves had announced 2 starter pitchers for Games 1 and 2 of the NLDS. The presumption is/has been that Kevin Gausman would be lined up for Game 3.
Given Newcomb’s occasional struggles in August and September, most were of the opinion that Sean Newcomb would either have a long relief role from the bullpen or possibly sit on the sidelines for the duration of this initial series.
Well… may not:
Based on what Snit said this afternoon, I'm now thinking they may give Newcomb a start in the NLDS.
