Expecting a yuge game from the Admiral.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

How the hell did that bounce back into play?

Weird that Newcomb doesn't throw 102 on the road

Newcomb is filthy.

 

[msstate7]

I love Newcomb.

 

[Enscheff]

Newk just doesn't look like a guy who's control problems are going to hurt him. As he tightens it up he willl get better and better. Still needs that change tho.

I know it's early, but I really like Newcomb. Dude just looks like he's going to be solid.

Is it likely a guy already at the MLB level can add a change?

Would love it if he could eventually add a cutter like Lester did later in his career.

Newcomb has a change but just isn't that good yet. Good chance during the offseason he'll improve it.

This still a thing Sturg?

 

[Garmel]

I like Newcomb's attitude. Nothing seems to bother him.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Just turned Newk on.. how does he look? Is he missing up and away to Righties. His pitch count is elevated, so I am wondering what stuff he has tonight.

Still can't score for the guy... good grief!!

 

[Enscheff]

Guys are just working long ABs against him.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Guys are just working long ABs against him.

like you said.. he needs that change just enough to make his FB that much better.

 

[sturg33]

This still a thing Sturg?

Yeah - still cracks me up we juiced the gun for him

 

[bravesfanMatt]
