Bullpen is where i think AA targets.

It would take an injury to make a market for Moose.

I wouldn’t trade for him, but it should be at very little cost.

That’s all he needs to know, and no other information is needed. He will like it, he will find a way to praise it, and he will defend it until the Braves do something else lol.

It’s the “Jeremy Lamb principle”

Thethe knows that reference very well.

5 innings pitched.. 66 pitches... 48 strikes.. 18 balls.. MLB debut!!!

**sturg33** · 05-01-2018, 07:43 PM

LOL his dad is so Canadian

**cajunrevenge** · 05-01-2018, 07:44 PM

nice having a prospect not be at 90+ pitches after 5 innings for once.

We have a million pitchers and y’all want to trade for the volatile and expensive thing in baseball.

Just keep soroka up and move Sanchez to the pen. Still have fried and newk and gohara as lh option

Weigel late in the year.

A bunch of other guys in the minors.

3b is a problem for me. Power is a problem for me. Flaherty is a bench player and I still think comargo is as well

Lamb ended up being a useful player

Perry Jones however....

Power? We have Neck.

**Hudson2** · 05-01-2018, 07:45 PM

Soroka is ready, his mound presence is crazy. With a couple of bullpen additions this could no doubt be a playoff team.

I mean if it cost like RF and Blair or Wisler, sure, but i suspect it wouldnt.

And i'd like to see Camargo full-time before i make a trade.

We are a playoff team without the bullpen additions. Things get real if you acquire another high leverage guy like Brad Hand.

We both know damn well it was never about Lamb becoming a useful player back in 2013

**SJ24** · 05-01-2018, 07:47 PM

Yikes at that AB by Ronald.

**Heyward** · 05-01-2018, 07:48 PM

Acuna got owned by Thor there.

Need one more from Soroka.

Why would Anibal Sanchez and his mediocre stuff be a good fit for the pen if his good work so far isn’t enough to keep him in rotation? Send him to AAA or release him.

I still think he can become a starting level player like I've always said. But hey - While you bring that up I'm sure you'll talk about the many players I got right (which for bbal was much more than I got wrong).

**UNCBlue012** · 05-01-2018, 07:49 PM

This is the kind of pitcher the Braves badly needs in the rotation — a bulldog who will likely go 6-7 inning each out, makes very few mistakes and makes the batters work. He’ll have his rough outings, but he will likely be good for a long time
