GDT: Braves @ Red Sox 5/26

Jeez, Newk. Another horrible pitch. Just stop.

 

[Garmel]

They keep getting weak hits.

 

[msstate7]

Acuna is pretty much terrible at every level of defense.

 

[Tapate50]

He's been wild all year.

He just hasn't faced one of the beastly teams of the AL. Teams have just swung at his pitches that haven't been close.

Ehh

 

[UNCBlue012]

Just stupid pitching. Lol glad to see we’re gonna screw another lead.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Jeez, Newk. Another horrible pitch. Just stop.

That was a bloop.

Last two hits were positioning hits.

 

[jpx7]

A definite uptick in the number of non-competitive pitches from Newcomb today.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Ehh

A 4+ BB/9 even before this game tells me that he's been very wild.

And yes, the last two hits were bad positioning hits. They both had hit probabilities under 50%.

 

[Enscheff]

Newk has been feasting on aggressive teams. It was never sustainable.

 

[msstate7]

I really was expecting a strong throw from acuna on that play or at least keep runner at 2b. That throw was weak for even markakis

 

[Enscheff]

They keep getting weak hits.

Please keep that sig. thanks.

 

[UNCBlue012]

That was a bloop.

I’m not making any excuses today. He’s pitched really damn awful. Luckily, he’s been way better than worse most of the year.

 

[Garmel]

Please keep that sig. thanks.

I sure will.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Newk has been feasting on aggressive teams. It was never sustainable.

He's going to start facing bad offenses again after this game so he'll likely do fine again.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Swanson on base again!

 

[msstate7]

Swanson another hit. Not on fastball

 

[jpx7]

Swanson another hit. Not on fastball

Dansby's definitely keeping up his end of the baergain.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not excusing poor command, but Swihart's hit was a bloop that poor positioning hurt him on. He shouldn't go back out and I'm not sure what to do pen wise.

Nice hit by Acuna.

 

[msstate7]

Newcomb's last 11 starts and that team's off walks per game...

Wash 3rd
Col 16th
Cubs 4th
Mets 11th
Reds 8th
Mets 11th
Rays 17th
Marlin x2 23rd
Red Sox 22nd

Not sure where you guys get newcomb has been just facing aggressive teams, but Boston is a patient team

 

[UNCBlue012]

Good, Acuna!
