----------





Kiley: Soroka is 92-95 touching a 96 thru 2 IP. 3 K, 3 GB, faced the minimum. Breaker and CH both look as good as I’ve seen them before, he looks very crisp.

Austin Riley has gone deep in both ABs so far. Got the second one open side on the high speed camera 

[bravesfanMatt]

Soroka is so good. Him being healthy will be huge for the big club.

[Heyward]

Soroka- 5 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 7 K on 49 pitches

[msstate7]

Soroka- 5 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 7 K on 49 pitches

Damn

[CJ9]

AJ Graffanino got pulled in the middle of the season opener and hasn’t played since. Hope it’s not a serious injury.

Now Jenista pulled in the middle of the game.

[Jay212033]

Soroka- 5 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 7 K on 49 pitches

Wow!!!

[The Chosen One]

Soroka- 5 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 7 K on 49 pitches

So Newk to pen against lefties? Or Tehearn as long man.

[Hudson2]

Man I hope Soroka stays healthy. He’s an absolute beast!

[striker42]

Soroka is our best chance at a home grown ace. Man I hope that shoulder is good.

[bravesfanMatt]

Soroka is our best chance at a home grown ace. Man I hope that shoulder is good.

Fried, Wright and Gohard all have the ability. Folty might give us 2 years of elite pitching if he can stay healthy.

....don’t....forget....Allard!!









This is a joke...

[Tapate50]

Good night to be in AAA

[Enscheff]

When the rotation is Folty, Gaus, Soroka, and whomever of Wright, Fried, Newk and Teheran is going well, folks will understand why getting a SP was never really a big need.

Agree with this. The pen....well...I felt a big piece should have been added.

[bravesfanMatt]

I clamored for Romo before the fish got him. Would have liked a guy like that and even a bud Norris type to add more depth.

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

I don't know if my body is ready for Soroka...

Never thought getting a SP was a big priority.

Bats and bullpen, thats another story.

[JohnAdcox]

Gosh, it's so hard not to make an inappropriate joke about that.

[BeanieAntics]

I think a better question at this point is can the SP leftovers make a good enough transition to the bullpen to fill it out effectively without adding an external piece. My hope is that we can put together a solid 5 to 6 man rotation and have a couple of the other guys serve bullpen roles while they fine tune their craft. Transitioning Newk to a bullpen role could be really beneficial down the road this season.
