Anyhow Newk is making a spot start until Keuchel comes up. Sometimes a spot start reveals something. Most of the time the guy making it goes back to the pen or the minors. I'll throw out an observation. Pitching is psychologically burdensome. More so for some than others. It appears to me that some of the weight Newk was feeling has been lifted. Not sure if it is related to going to the pen, working something out mechanically or seeing a shrink. But the guy seems a lot more relaxed and comfortable and confident than he did at the start of the season.
