    I think if newk was an opposing pitcher we would fawn over his arsenal/age/build.

    Camargo has not been in lineup yesterday or today. Did he re-injure himself?

    Will say as game went on Newcomb shoulders started heaving like a video game pitcher.

    When he loses the fastball he hits that same spot up and away. If they are going to swing at it, he’s going to be extremely good.

    I’m skeptical he can keep walks down but this plus spring trading starts to hint at a progress?

    Absolutely. It's the consistency/control that's the issue. He looked good today. I think everyone has to like his stuff. I just hopes he can continue to command it like he did today.

    Look at him and think he’s Jose peraza all based on avg and speed. Instead he’s a slugger
    I don’t know. The whole of his mlb career at least suggests surprising power.

    Checking in on the Angels. Ohtani has 6 K's in 3 innings. Dude is Babe Ruth.

    Bullish means you're positive about it. So you're the opposite, like me. Bullish on him as a player but not on his power (I still think he can be a regular 20 HR guy, just think 30 HR is difficult).

    Bearish is the negative one

    The braves need to go get the absolute best pitching coach that can be had. If we are gonna build this team on pitching, have to upgrade chuckie

    Nothing. I think he will be a plus hitter with plus defense. I'm not all in on his power like thethe.
