Cut him now

 

[sturg33]

Coming in to today...

Albies pacing 7.3 fWAR

Swanson pacing 9.3


That'll do

These types of games are why Newcomb’s ERA hovers around garbage levels. Dude has a 9-1 lead and STILL doesn’t attack the damn zone. I’m a fan, but there’s always something with him

Quintana, a good control pitcher, had all kinds of problems with control today.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Dansby clone with a 2017 Dansby move..

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Joe.......that was the most obvious curve ever, not a changeup

 

[Garmel]

This would be a good day to give Luke Jackson and Moylan some work later on.

Good recovery Newk.

You realize the conditions are horrible and we destroyed one of the best LHPs in the game today right? Newcomb deserves a lot of criticism, but he is still a young pitcher and doing fine imo. That's 5 k in 3 ip

 

[Heyward]

Was hoping for 5 innings, 3 runs for Newk today.

3 innings, 5 K's in **** conditions vs a good lineup is fine.

Quintana was terrible today, and he's one of the top 10 or so LHP's in baseball.

I was thinking “June”, but forty games is where I’d start thinking about entertaining the notion that this might be real.

Well, Memorial Day is traditionaly the evaluation date, so you’re right. But 40 games is about a quarter of the season, so that’s why I said “at least” that many.

Joe.......that was the most obvious curve ever, not a changeup

Lol Joe thinks that Newcomb just decided to take an extra 12 mph off of that changeup haha

 

[thethe]

I have an irrational affinity for Lane.

6 ip 3 r 9 k

6... 2...10

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

I'm like if that's a changeup, it's by far the best I've ever seen. Got like 20 mph seperation, sick downward movement.

Maybe Joe needs cataract surgery? I dunno

 

[msstate7]

Keep the lead... don't wanna see freeman, aj, or viz today

My God. I got three replies that said the exact same thing. LMAO. I’m not mad, I just think he needs to pound the zone more. He nips a lot.

Holy ****, dude. It’s a wind chill of 31 degrees, 20 mph winds, and raining. Give him a break.
