    The Braves have allowed 43 hits by opposing pitchers, tied for the lead in MLB.

    Seriously, what's to blame for this? Is it luck? Lackadaisical pitching?

    And Freddie, that was horrible.

    Phillies had the best approach against Soroka all year, despite the fact he has had some worse starts. Really stinks but it's true.

    And also shows that they aren't hitting like they should be as a team.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Soroka arm weary?? 164+ IP going into today.

    Over 20 pitch 1st took something out of him on top of the already IP high.
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    He doesn't need to start his next turn. Give him a break before the playoffs.

    Taking Soroka out was unquestionably the correct call. It's about time Snit woke up and starts getting these guys rest.

    If he's going to be our game 1 starter I think he needs to make 1 more start and got 2-3 innings

    Instead, Snitker is going to start him for each of the next 8 games, in hopes of getting him over 200 IP.

    Whether he goes 2-3 innings or 9, the preparation for a start can be part of the workload. Give him a game off and go from there.

    Yeah, he and some of the other guys will be making abbreviated starts next week. Don't want to go two weeks without pitching in a game.

    Tremendous protection from Duvall.

    Pitch to Freeman rather than taking a chance with Nola vs Duvall? WTF?

    No wonder the Phillies are looking to hire new analytics guys.
