    Impossible to make a "quality start" by Soroka in this game. LOL
    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.

    Actually he's already had one. A quality start is defined as at least 6 innings pitched and 4 or fewer runs. Not that its a stat worth crap.

    More like Sir Choka, amirite?

    Was a fun season while it lasted, but giving away games like these is why the Braves won’t make the postseason this October.

    No, it's 3 or fewer.

    No quality start. Snitker was more worried about manly things here and getting him to work through growing pains and struggling when it's clear it's fatigue.
    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.

    One thing to remember about Soroka. During one of his minor league seasons, I think in Rome, he hit a wall and went through some bad starts. But he fought his way through it and pitched very well for his team in the playoffs. I think Rome won a championship that year.

    I hope you realize I wasn't serious that was the reason Snitker was keeping him in. It was dripping with sarcasm. So not that it matters, but for some reason I had remembered it as 4 runs.

    Glad I stopped watching: Zombie Expos now toying with the Braves, as befits their dom/sub relationship.

    Hopefully the Braves can turn it around next year.

    This should be a game we see two of Jeremy Walker, Darren O'Day and AJ Minter

    Lost in all of this is how substantially the Zombie Expos have not only protected but padded their significant RD lead: if this score holds, they’ll be +3 on the series.

    Thread title is ultimately to blame: missed a key opportunity to go with “X-Rated Soroka Horror Picture Show”.

    The little mental mistakes add up over the course of a season.

    Sounds like we need to hope that Snit has a kink he needs to work out.

    Chip Caray: Was canned from TBS after making like 20 errors on the stats in a single postseason, after refusing to even open the stats info packets that the team had prepared for him before each game

    Also Chip Caray: just asked Gretchen Kainey on-air to check the stats on how many cheesesteaks an announcer ate in a 3-game series
