re: Newman should be our 3rd starter after Lange and Poche

Newman may be our best reliever but it does no good to have an elite closer if you don't have the starting pitching to give him a save situation. Hence why Newman has only 6 saves and I can think of several SEC series where he has had only 1 appearance.
I need to explain why Gilbert isn't a postseason caliber starter when he has 3 starts and a 5.11 ERA? Seriously? Riley Smith has a 7.64 ERA but small sample size unlike Gilbert.
Bain has been effective in middle/long relief, started some weekend games last year and was decent, and has an ERA in the mid 3's
I'm serious about Latz but I listed Bugg first for a reason.

Newman only has 6 saves because he's only been closer for 3 weeks. Poche and Lange cannot be relied upon to go full games. Someone has to close out these 1-run and extra inning games that have been so crucial lately. That doesn't happen without Newman in his current role.
There. A legit response. Now change your mind or double down on stupid by trying to still defend it. Your choice.

Smith has looked good over his last 3 outings. I'm very confident with him against a team's #3. I look forward to seeing him start Game 1 of the regional.
9 hits, 2 walks, and only 3 runs allowed in his last 11 innings pitched. (2.45 ERA)
Correct me if I'm wrong but he was dealing with an injury at the start of the year, right?
