    Should be a good pitching day...4 of the best pitching prospects (SSS so far)

    Albers, 2G, 1.42ERA, 4/9 BB/K rate

    Soroka, 2 Games, .77ERA, 0/14 BB/K

    Gohara, 3G, 1.93ERA, 3/13 BB/K

    Lawlor, 2G (only 6 IP), 0.00ERA, 3/11 BB/K

    In all seriousness Enscheff is correct in terms of the financial aspect of calling him up 6 weeks early. In player salary it will cost the Braves about 10-15 million if he ends up being the player we want him to be in the best case scenario.

    Or possibly North Korea. One of the Koreas, anyway.

    Don't be obtuse just to try to prove a point.
    I wouldn't call up Albies if there wasn't any service time issues.

    He's where he needs to be until the Braves have an opening in the starting lineup.

    the money lost if there actually ends up being money lost won't matter if swanson ends up being worth the extension in the first place.
    nowhere in this analysis is the effect on sales he might have. or will have if he's good enough to get an extension. all of this analysis is completely short sighted in every single possible way, most especially by completely disregarding certain variables that would in fact defend calling up dansby last year.

    I don't think he's disputing that we will have to pay Dansby more through 2022 by calling him up sooner...just that the additional cost can be offset elsewhere.

    Demeritte was in the lineup that was announced a few hours ago, but he wasn't in it when the game started. Hope nothing happened.

    I thought soroka had more velocity than this. He's topped out at 92. Is this radar off?

    Minor league guns are not reliable. But I don't honestly know how hard he throws.

    No matter the velocity, he's effective. This MBraves' lineup is bad

    Looks like reports vary, fangraphs and Sickels have him at low 90s, Keith Law says he can touch 96
