 | Tuesday, April 11th, 1967: Newman Zeroes in on Detroit "That's one thing that has never changed in this game -- pitching can control hitting," the Spiders manager told reporters after today's game. The Griffins ran into a buzzsaw as Fred Newman cut them down to size 5-0 with a 4-hit shutout. His skipper added, "He knows exactly what he's doing. He's not going to throw you a good pitch until you make him throw one." In the complete game whitewash the San Francisco hurler doled out 2 walks and registered 1 strikeout. In the postgame press conference his catcher said, "Fred goes out there and just goes about his business. I don't think he gets too concerned about what's going on. You can call any pitch and you know where he's going to be." Newman also got some praise from the Detroit manager. "He really kept us in check today. Everything looked to be moving. Seemed like the pitch was right down the middle and it went over down and away... we took some pathetic swings." |
