6/10 Game 1 vs Mets...Sean Newcomb Day

[Freshmaker]

Already past super two right?

pretty sure yeah

[auyushu]

Seems pretty straight to me, but he doesn't give up that many hits or hrs sooo... not sure what to think

I've only been watching since the top of the third, but his fastball has seemed to have decent movement to me.

[thewupk]

that curve is pretty good

[thewupk]

Already past super two right?

Normally yes by about a week. Won't know for sure until the season is over though.

[The Chosen One]

Let's get the kid some runs please.

He's been more efficient with his pitches than Teheran all season.

[nsacpi]

Big Newk is dealin

[Julio3000]

Kid make pitch so far.

[thewupk]

Seems like newcomb is showing he can succeed with some walks.

except he's not walking people

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Yeah, I like Newcomb

[Enscheff]

I think the 60+ I've seen hung on his curve is definitely warranted.

[Freshmaker]

I think having a MLB catcher calling his pitches will (and is) making a difference in him. He could go eight innings right now with that low of a pitch count. He rarely gets out of the 5th on 100 pitches normally if I remember right.

You just might be right. Newcomb has been very efficient today. Only 65 pitches (w/50 strikes) in 5 innings - that's pretty darn good

[msstate7]

Everything in the air for inciarte.

[Garmel]

BABIP gods not being kind to us today.

[Russ2dollas]

How much is he throwing the change... if at all? I'm not getting video now

Two pitches will only take him so far. We will see if they let him go through the lineup three times if it's two pitches

[msstate7]

I didn't realize we were facing a Cy young candidate. No KEMvP, no FF... this offense not good

[msstate7]

except he's not walking people

2 bb in 5 ip = 3.6 bb/9

[thewupk]

2 bb in 5 ip = 3.6 bb/9

considerably less than in the minors and 1 was intentional

[Freshmaker]

Good to see him K Flores there

[Orphan Black]

I don't think I've seen any change ups...he does throw two different curves...one that is more of the lollipop get over for a strike and the other that's harder and usually ends up in the dirt.

Is it me or is this his best start of the year?
