GDT: 4/7 Newk vs. the World

Watching Newk pitch is a nightmare. Dude is literally throwing to the worst of the worst in terms of major leaguers.
 
Holy hell, Newk. Again, from a pitching factor, this is a minor-league squad. This is just really sad to watch.
 
Wright needs more refinement, but by the way it's looking, it's simply going to be better to deal with that instead of Newcomb, which is kind of sad, but Newcomb is digging his own grave here.
 
I'm not a pitching coach, so I don't know how to fix pitching mechanics. But right now, we cannot depend on Newcombe to be an effective starting pitcher. When Folty returns, no way Newcombe should be in the rotation. Send him to Gwinnett or Mississippi to fix his issues.

Dude, Soroka just went five innings of no-hit ball and walked NONE. Max Fried... Gaus literally walked the first two batters and no more. I get the frustration, but this really isn't fully true.
 
Watching Newk throw is sickening. Walk a backup catcher after a 1-2 count is not excusable, then walk the tying run in with bases loaded is a major mistake.

Glad Folty will be back soon, then hopefully we won't have to suffer with more errant throws towards the plate from Newk.

You really wanna use fried in your argument?
 
Fried might've been great in his first start but yeah, his command isn't good either. The best chance at a strike throwing TOR type has to prove he can stay healthy.
