    I’m sure they’ll call him up soon and he’ll walk 6 or 7 in his first start for us.

    Newk has never found a consistent release point. If he ever did he might be pretty good. Probably too much to ask at this point though. Still, here's hoping

    He has to be better than Julio.

    For the Love of God let Newk have one more start with no walks at AAA and then let him rejoin the ML rotation and send Julio to the bullpen.

    God I hate listening to Snit talk or reading his quotes. All he freaking says is good and really good. Sounds so ignorant.

    I read on espn.com that Newk was considered for a spot start last Thursday night at the Reds so maybe we are inching closer to bringing him back to the rotation and moving Julion to the pen.

    Newk will be back soon. Eventually it will click and he will realize that he has the stuff to bw aggressive in the zone early in the count.

    his FIP and xFIP still aren't good despite the low BB numbers the last two starts.
