Soroka in to pitch:
Ground out to 3B
K swinging
Ground out to 3B
No mention of velocity or anything else. Announcers talked about Mahtook leading off the whole time.

Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
Soroka's second inning
K looking (94 on the outside corner for strike 1 looking)
Ground out to 3B, Riley almost threw it away
Ground out to Soroka
If Soroka is really throwing that sinker at 94-96 with that easy balanced motion and that plus control...that's something to be excited about.

Swanson handles a fastball for a hit, as usual.
This Tigers pitcher is throwing nothing but heaters 93-95.
Swanson steals 2B then comes off the bag to get tagged out.
It really feels like both Acuna and Soroka might be the guys up after about 4 weeks at AAA.

Suzuki lines out. I think he's ready.
I think Acuna is going to need 200+ PAs in AAA, but Soroka sure is impressive.
I'm getting more comfortable with my Derek Lowe comp for him...solid 2-3 win 190+ IP workhorse with a few 4+ win seasons sprinkled in.

Looks like Wright got knocked around pretty good by the Nats.
Riley with a long home run. Tigers announcers are raving about how far he hit it.
.708 now

God bless the small samples of spring

Looks like Gomez and Minter both had effective outings. Wish I could have seen them.
Newcomb only hitting 110 today, but it's too soon to worry since he's got all spring to get that velocity up

Just my guesses: Acuna - in May. Soroka & Riley - probably in July.
Unless we are a surprise this season, I think we have enough starting pitching to keep soroka down this year.
I don't know.... after this Spring so far, just not sure Acuna's ever gonna make it (sarcasm!)
Soroka may end up being one of our best draft picks in a LONG time... they absolutely loved him when nearly everyone thought... "who the hell is this guy?"
