Nice Newk. QUIT JINXING IT CHIP!!

 

[Chewbaccer]

Newk is perfect through 5.

A lot of 3 ball counts, but he's gotten them all out.

Newcomb finally walks one. Been flirting with it too many times and finally caught up to him

 

[Mistaken4193]

Newk will probably get through 7...his pitch count is too high

 

[Mistaken4193]

That was his best pitch of the year.

 

[Chewbaccer]

No more perfect game. No hitter still in tact through 6 though.

But he has nearly 90 pitches, and letting a pitcher throw 120 makes you literally Hitler these days.

 

[Chewbaccer]

This is the first game I can remember where Newk's curveball has worked in his career.

 

[Mistaken4193]

WTF Albies and Acuna??

 

[Mistaken4193]

THROUGH 7!!!

 

[Chewbaccer]

no hitter through 7.

That's probably the end of the line for him though and Snit will probably bring Sam Freeman in for the 8th.

THROUGH 7!!!

On 100 Pitchces. Snit better let him stay in if keeps it going

 

[Mistaken4193]

no hitter through 7.

That's probably the end of the line for him though and Snit will probably bring Sam Freeman in for zthe 8th.

Id send him back out...he isnt even at 100...wait yes he is exactly at 100

 

[Chewbaccer]

Id send him back out...he isnt even at 100

If he isn't laboring, I'd let him finish it off.

He's had a lead since the first inning, has had one baserunner, so none of these pitches have come with any stress.

And it's a pretty mild day for late July too.

NEWCOMB HITTING!!

 

[gobigred]

no hitter through 7.

That's probably the end of the line for him though and Snit will probably bring Sam Freeman in for the 8th.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Newk's hitting for himself, so he'll go back out for the 8th.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Kinda crazy that with the big 3 there, Kent Mercker was the starter for both no hitters in the 90's for us.

 

[Chewbaccer]

If this continues, give Newk an extra day off or whatever before his next start, but as long as this is going, let him finish.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Puig is the one who scares me.
