The Colon at bat was bad, but I thought Newcomb pitched okay that inning. Nothing hit hard and he got squeezed a bit.
great play by Swanson, Newk was getting squeezed but still pitched well overall all things considered.
Least he doesn't fall apart like Folty does when in trouble.
This is f'n awful
Is KEMvP on DL?
Having to deal with a tight strike zone is part of the game, and he actually missed on that one pitch looking at the k zone, even though it's a pitch I think he should have gotten. He walked 4 guys, that's wildness whether you like it or not. He still pitched a heck of a game, just a couple bad luck bloopers and some wildness did him in. Nice job minimizing the damage though and getting out of it. I really like that Snitker left him in there to let him sink or swim.
Kyle wright in the house
I also liked that he stayed out and finished that inning. I didn't like some of the pitches flowers was calling in that inning. Why throw breaking stuff to Colon? Blow the 98 mph stuff by him.
So far he looks like the most legit pitcher the team has brought up during the rebuild.
Meh...75% came in the 6th and Bour was basically an intentional walk. Marlins were lucky with little bloop hits. For sure Newk is like Folty...he can only beat himself. The gun seems to work just fine for Motte. Say what you want, but I'm completely happy with his first two MLB starts. Have to think he will only improve as he gets comfortable.
