Is there anything more pathetic than listening to Joe and Jeff discuss analytics and strategy?

[msstate7]

Why do you not take the gift hit?

[Enscheff]

The strike zone is tight.

Every single ball Newk threw was outside the zone box of the broadcast. He actually got at least 1 curve outside the box called a strike.

There is no need to make excuses for Newk's poor control.

I really wish he would. that could have been 2nd and 3rd if he just guides a 3-0 fastball down the line..

[msstate7]

Ender caught % is about to get back right

Yes, and many umpires call those borderline calls that he missed strikes.

[bravesfanMatt]

I also wish Ender and Ozzie would try to steal more in front of FF.. Twinter is too old school for that nonsense however..

[Enscheff]

Just keep that sig up bud. Thanks.

[Garmel]

Just keep that sig up bud. Thanks.

I definitely will. He's already a 3! Btw, why don't you go hustle some teenage boys out of their lunch money and leave us in peace.

I see similar excuses made for Swanson. It’s a lot easier to recognize the value players bring when we can acknowledge their flaws.

[Freshmaker]

I still think a sports psychologist could benefit Newk. He is great when he throws strikes consistently

wonder if that guy that Smoltz used is still practicing

[bravesfanMatt]

Good 10 pitch inning there.. I didn't see any arm side misses to Righties in that inning. usually a great sign for Newk. Maybe 1st inning was just getting some kinks out.

[bravesfanMatt]

extent him

[UNCBlue012]

Flowers is freaking awesome. His offense and defense are legit.

[UNCBlue012]

Camargo is so bad with the bases loaded. He literally never makes the needed contact. At least it seems that way.

[UNCBlue012]

TUCKER

[Enscheff]

Good to see Tucker getting some PAs. The only player on the roster who hits the ball consistently harder than him is Acuna.

[msstate7]

Do you tell newcomb to just stand there?

[bravesfanMatt]

Dansby Walk rate is going through the roof

[buck75]

Newk is a RBI machine
