I figured it’d take Soroka longer than a few starts to be ready. He hasn’t really pitched in 2 years so it’s gonna take a while to knock the rust off.

I was hoping he'd be ready for the post season. But at this point, it is just good that he is back on the mound and pitching. Let him take that into the offseason and be ready for spring training.

It’s a little concerning. He’s getting hammered. Obviously he gets a lot more time. But the possibility remains he’s just never gonna be the same guy. I think he’ll come back and be a #4 guy eventually but not what he was which would still be a win.

Rome eliminated from South Atlantic League playoffs last night, losing the three game series 2 games to 1 to the Bowling Green Hot Rods. Rome won the first game in extra innings on a two-out throwing error by the Bowling Green shortstop and then got shelled when the series moved to Bowling Green by scores of 10-1 and 7-1. Rome managed only 13 hits in 27-plus innings of baseball over the series. Royber Salinas pitched well in Game 1, notching 10 strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings, walking three and allowing three hits. That performance and a HR in Game 3 from Brandol Mezquita were about the only highlights in the series for the R-Braves.

A lot of guys passed through Rome this season. I have to remember that Vaughn Grissom started the season there and is now in the big leagues and Justyn-Henry Malloy also was a first half stalwart for Rome. The international sanctions and the truncated 2020 draft have put a huge dent in the Braves' prospect depth in the lower levels of the system, but there were some interesting players in both Augusta and Rome this season. I will try to write up some of my impressions at some point.

Is Tromp injured? I thought they’d bring him up by now. Thanks!!

They're trying to disqualify Tromp for November. Sad!

Malloy bumped up to Gwinnett

Mississippi season ended Sunday, so they are probably giving him some ABs before he heads to the Arizona Fall League.
