7/4/17 GDT Thread: Welcome back Freddie!!!

[Freshmaker]

Lol...Gonzalez almost killed Reddick with a liner that just missed him. Foul ball

 

[thethe]

Astros offense is absurdly good.

 

[jsebe10]

I mean they are just tattooing everything.

I mean they are just tattooing everything.

And it's not like they're getting a bunch of hangers. They're hitting some good pitches.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

This is Newcomb's first start against an above average lineup after looking at who he faced his first four starts

 

[USMA76]

I mean they are just tattooing everything.

Yeah, they're pretty much all over everything Newcomb is throwing. These guys are definitely a step up in class from what we've seen in the NL East and on our West Coast trip.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Newcomb shouldn't be in this position right now if Phillips would wake the hell up.

 

[USMA76]

Good point.

 

[nsacpi]

Yea but unfortunately everything he got away with facing those theee sh*tty teams is getting

Banged by this high profile offensive team. He's gotta learn another pitch...it's that simple

also the quality of his 0-2 pitches has been poor...not close to the catchers target

 

[USMA76]

That'll probably do it...5-0 'Stros.

 

[Enscheff]

Newcomb has thrown his change up a few times this inning.

He is trying the change because the RHers are teeing off on his 2 pitch arsenal. This was bound to happen. I stated as much after his first start.

This is Newcomb's first start against an above average lineup after looking at who he faced his first four starts

Astros have a comfortably elite lineup. Best in the majors by results very easily.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

That inning is over far sooner if Phillips wasn't playing lazy as hell. Also stop trying to jam Gurriel inside. Clearly is not working.

 

[Enscheff]

Are we starting to understand why Newk needs a pitch that goes away from RHers if he wants to be a TOR guy?

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

You were right. Don't think anyone argued with you that he needs another pitch. I thought he threw a great change up to Altuve to get a weak grounder.

 

[msstate7]

Peacock came in with 30 BB in 49.2 ip. Of course tonight in 32 pitches, he's thrown 24 strikes with 0 BB

 

[TheBravos]

Eh....Newk is bound to have a few games like this. He was way due really.

 

[jsebe10]

Nothing like Ender ripping a 1B to right and Phillips to kill the entire inning.

Ready for us to trade Phillips and stick Camargo at second.

 

[jsebe10]

I'm so fckn over Phillips....please unload him at the deadline.
