GDT-9-4-18 THE CHERNOBYL SYNDROME MASSACRE: RETURN OF THE NIGHT OF THE NEWK!

[thewupk]

Braves should run away from Newcomb as fast as possible this offseason. The second his stuff declines he's going to be trash.

So would you say his walks are a problem?

No one better than Chuck “butthole” Hernandez to calm things down and get Newk back on track.

Bingo. There's no point in even keeping him to relieve. He's a stuff number four or complete washout.

Never been a huge Newk fan to be honest. Don't love seeing his K rate drop and his continuing to have random control issues. Once he loses fastball velocity he's going to get killed.

 

[Braves1976]

please prove me wrong newk, one more to do so.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

That scared me.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

I don't tempt fate. I don't let Newk face that lineup for the 3rd time. If you want to let him face Porcello and then yank him, fine, but I'd rather a reliever come in for a clean inning.

 

[Hulavol]

Good Newk!

 

[Braves1976]

wow he did it, lol

 

[bravesfanMatt]

We need 3 more runs at bare minimum

 

[jsebe10]

Good job kid. Way to battle your balls off.

Get him some fckn runs!’n

 

[AerchAngel]

You are correct saying super twin. I already trade marked wonder twin on this board and you would owe me 100 bucks each foul.

Nah dude, I got the super and wonder mixed up but I brought it first. So you owe me bucko.

Just kidding. But my goodness they can be twins it looks like, their features and hair is not dissimilar. And I do think they do it own purpose.



Woo woo woo, Sean has some coconuts after all. Nice pitching. Calling you a P maybe brought something out of you.

Short lease. But no need to burn your horses in pen just because.

Yeah, Newk is hanging by a thread each inning. Terrible command and no idea what to expect. It helped him get out of the inning because he threw just enough strikes but the hitters couldn't get a read on him either lol. Super short leash from here on out. Don't let him lose this game. It obvious he doesn't have much tonight.

 

[Braves1976]

albies chases outside

 

[CyYoung31]

Sort of. His bat speed is slow-mo right now.

yea and also bottom of the order helped too. He got that high strike three call and the .195 hitting catcher

 

[Enscheff]

Newk got an extremely favorable call to K Bradley. The Braves are playing with fire letting him face those RHHs a 3rd time.

 

[Braves1976]

i'd be happy to get 5 scoreless from newk tonight and then pinch hit in bottom.

Damn it he gives up a hit to the pitcher!

Agreed.
