Hector is starting.....what's your problem?

(Obviously not the GOAT, but hopefully not the BBOAT that everyone assumes he is.)

I am SO excited to see Newcomb do this thing.

I hope we have a big game today. Let's see Olivera rake! lol

how far does Newcomb go. I would think 3 would be the max. I would love to see a bomb from HO today. quite the critics a bit maybe.

FREEMAN HOMER!

I'm just not sold on Newcomb... I'm sure he's got great stuff but the lack of command is a real problem. And a few scouting reports I've read said his delivery is very smooth, so there's not an obvious fix to help command.

2 walks already today

Edit: 4 walks

It's March 3, against the Tigers, who are very good. I'm not gonna read into Newcomb's future over this. Remember, we sent Ubaldo Jimenez packing after 1/3 inning yesterday.

I'm not basing anything off today. It's his career. He is a walking machine, and according to scouts, there's not an obvious fix to it because his mechanics are already smooth and repetitive.

I find it smart to judge a pitcher with 7 starts above single A on his first ST game on March 3rd

Excellent damage control!!
