    So would you say his walks are a problem?

    No one better than Chuck “butthole” Hernandez to calm things down and get Newk back on track.

    Bingo. There's no point in even keeping him to relieve. He's a stuff number four or complete washout.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Never been a huge Newk fan to be honest. Don't love seeing his K rate drop and his continuing to have random control issues. Once he loses fastball velocity he's going to get killed.

    I don't tempt fate. I don't let Newk face that lineup for the 3rd time. If you want to let him face Porcello and then yank him, fine, but I'd rather a reliever come in for a clean inning.

    Nah dude, I got the super and wonder mixed up but I brought it first. So you owe me bucko.

    Just kidding. But my goodness they can be twins it looks like, their features and hair is not dissimilar. And I do think they do it own purpose.



    Woo woo woo, Sean has some coconuts after all. Nice pitching. Calling you a P maybe brought something out of you.

    Short lease. But no need to burn your horses in pen just because.

    Yeah, Newk is hanging by a thread each inning. Terrible command and no idea what to expect. It helped him get out of the inning because he threw just enough strikes but the hitters couldn't get a read on him either lol. Super short leash from here on out. Don't let him lose this game. It obvious he doesn't have much tonight.

    Sort of. His bat speed is slow-mo right now.

    yea and also bottom of the order helped too. He got that high strike three call and the .195 hitting catcher

    Newk got an extremely favorable call to K Bradley. The Braves are playing with fire letting him face those RHHs a 3rd time.

    i'd be happy to get 5 scoreless from newk tonight and then pinch hit in bottom.

    Damn it he gives up a hit to the pitcher!
