Thanks. Whatever it takes to smash optimism.
There's no way they would have let Newk face the top of that lineup a 4th time. His only chance to finish the 7th was a double play from Gsellman.
There's optimism, and there's straight up non-facts. I prefer to operate based on actual facts.
Best addition Coppy made this offseason.
But was it mostly just those two pitches?

So a straight up fact is that he pitched a ***m Good ball game. I don't need a stat to tell me that. Or am I missing a FABIP NABIT FX stat?
The correct move was still to let Kemp hit in the 7th, but this is a fortunate opportunity, and Snit made the right move now at least.
Pretty much entirely fastball/slider. Though he seemed to have two different breaking pitches, one more of a sharp breaking slider that was very good and got him quite a few strikeouts, and another that was more of an up and down curve that was slower. As Enscheff mentioned earlier in the thread, he had a couple weird pitches in the 80 mph range that could have been changeups I suppose, but they were way out of the zone and ugly pitches.
He sat in the 93-94 range with the fastball, occasionally running up to 95/96 with decent movement. Breaking pitches were very good. If he can stay around the zone like he did today we will have a solid pitcher on our hands.
Did I say he didn't pitch a good game? Or did I say he wasn't throwing 95-96 as advertised?
Reading comprehension. It's not for everyone.

And your smarter than the world shtick is old. What's your point?
Will be interesting to see if the data shows 2 different breaking balls, or a curve that had inconsistent break.
