All Times Eastern

This might be the best single day of the season for pitching on display: Blair, Allard, Soroka, Wentz, Wright! Weather permitting, of course.

Wentz getting up there in innings. Should finish with atleast 130 IP. Pretty good for Low A. Good sign moving forward.

Agreed. I was kind of concerned about how long they'd let him go this season, especially after he dealt with the dead arm phase last year before being drafted.

Especially good news for a kid with serious questions about how well he would hold up with a SP workload. Wentz probably raised his stock the 2nd most of all Braves pitchers this year.

Pitchers showing up today.

Goin out with a fury. Soroka with a no no thru 2. Our pitchers couldn't of had a better night to end on so far.

Alex Jackson just hit a two run homer. Wish they had statcast. Ball appeared to have some serious exit velocity. Ball went out of the park in LF. Don't see that to often.

Soroka...
5.0 ip 3 h 1 er 0 bb. 5 k
Season era now 2.77

Soroka goes 6 gives up 3 hits 1 ER no walks with 7Ks

Nice to see him and Allard finish so strong. They have both had tremendous seasons and fully justified the aggressive placements. The FO deserves credit for correctly concluding they were ready for AA.

Allard really put some questions to rest for the moment in his last 40 innings or so.

The farm system collectively had about as good of a season as you could have hoped for. It really sucks that the major league team didn't get better this year but at least the farm provides hope.
