6/10 Game 1 vs Mets...Sean Newcomb Day

[thewupk]

defense ****ty all around

 

[steveAKAslick]

And heeeeerrrrrreeeee we go!!!! Newcombe makes the lucky IF grab and then just ****s up the DP

 

[Enscheff]

Flowers may be the worst I've ever seen at handling throws.

 

[USMA76]

Major league pitching performance; little league fielding play by Newcomb.

 

[trob15]

Flowers has to catch that ball.

 

[Enscheff]

That FB is straight, and now it's sitting 91-92. That's a much different scenario than 95-96, especially with fringe control.

 

[thewupk]

underhanded it. Newk is the new Lester

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

With the level of defense that inning, that was a good result. Every single on base play started with "in play, out" that inning on Gameday

He is probably taking some off, to have better control. We know he can set higher if he wants to.

Well "sitting 91-92" is a bit of your own overreaction. I saw some 91 and some 95. Hmmm. Maybe he can change speeds!

 

[Enscheff]

Or maybe he was amped up in his first MLB inning and this is the velo he will pitch at consistently. We will find out soon enough now that every opposing hitter has seen that curve.

lol not a single pitch was 95 in the 2nd inning.

We will see.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I think he is taking some off to get his mechanics right. I have watched him a lot and he is just trying to find it. He can keep easy 96 into the 7th.

 

[Julio3000]

He's already better than Bartolo.

 

[msstate7]

underhanded it. Newk is the new Lester

Let's hope so

 

[Enscheff]

Does he throw a 2 seamer and a 4 seamer?

Hopefully FG gets their pitchfx updated quickly after the game.

Yeah it's been well documented that he can keep 95 easily.

Don't recall anything cutting.

 

[msstate7]

Just thought of something... if Newcomb stays up, I'll be there Friday night to see him vs marlins. Probably end up wisler though

Not watching but that ball strike ratio is fantastic. Are his strikes over the heart of the plate?
