Nothing makes a first impression like giving up a grand slam on your first pitch.
Two outs!! Two outs!!
I hope Erlin packs that uniform tonight as a keepsake of his time here.
Make this guy finish the game and then dfa him.
I’d take skinny Folty over this debacle...

Getting blown out sucks but it’s worse when you have to leave and go play two in the Bronx against the Yankees

In four starts this season, Newcomb has pitched 13 2/3, allowing 20 hits, 4 homers, 6 walks, and 10 Ks, with an 11.20 ERA and a 6.15 xFIP. I don't really case that it's a SSS, this is unwatchable and unrosterable.

Newk is a reliever. This should be his last start ever.

I distinctly remember someone on this board showing how unlikely it was for Newk to become a useful SP about 3 years ago. Why he keeps being run out there in that role is about as confusing as running Duvall out there vs RHP.

Erlins’s ERA is still better than Newk’s.

This fckn Newk experiment needs to end. I don’t give a sh*t if he goes up to AA at the end of the year and asks for another shot to be a starter. It’s either bullpen or bust for this kid. Fastball as flat as snake nuts and constantly hanging that bull sh*t curve. Hell, he’s regressed. Bullpen or taxi squad that ass.
