No idea. Gave up a hit and bam... he gone. No real explanation. Is he on pitch count or something? He was pitching wellQuote:

Looks like he was AAA fodder that just got sent down to AA. He has only pitched out of pen and was probably on a short leash.Quote:

Rojas jr with hr off Kyle Kendrick. Ready to see Rojas or Adams over boni
Soroka has hit a batter, walked one, and an error for his 3 base runners.
And now a double... 1-1
Wild pitch... 2-1 bay bears
Talked to player behind me (no idea who) charting pitches with gun. Anyway, 90-91 is correct for soroka
I always thought Soroka wasn't a hard thrower, but had tons of control. That's why he wasn't as high on some lists early on.

The lineup that Mississippi is running out there is pretty embarrassing to be AA.
I'm still a little nervous about it though. He's at 16 K/1 BB this year.Quote:

Barely shown the ability. 71 walks in 742 at bats... that's pretty bad for his whole minor league career. Hopefully he becomes a force at the plate and the pitcher starts getting scared, naturally producing more walks. His K rate early has been very promising in a small sample size.Quote:

I would pump the brakes on him a little bit. He seemed to get tired tonight causing a lot of balls in the dirt. It's going to take a while for him to build the stamina to pitch in the majors.
Mader is going to be good. I could see him pitching a long time in the MLB.
I'm not saying he's been able to walk a ton, but his rate of about 9% or so is not bad and certainly seems to indicate his current rate of below 2% will improve.Quote:
