I am SO excited to see Newcomb do this thing.

I hope we have a big game today. Let's see Olivera rake! lol
 
I'm just not sold on Newcomb... I'm sure he's got great stuff but the lack of command is a real problem. And a few scouting reports I've read said his delivery is very smooth, so there's not an obvious fix to help command.

2 walks already today

Edit: 4 walks
 
It's March 3, against the Tigers, who are very good. I'm not gonna read into Newcomb's future over this. Remember, we sent Ubaldo Jimenez packing after 1/3 inning yesterday.

I'm not basing anything off today. It's his career. He is a walking machine, and according to scouts, there's not an obvious fix to it because his mechanics are already smooth and repetitive.

I find it smart to judge a pitcher with 7 starts above single A on his first ST game on March 3rd
