MINORS FINALS 4/12/18: New rule can't prevent long extra innings game

[msstate7]

Not sure if he makes it as a starter but I feel toukis floor is a high leverage BP arm

Touki seems like a RH Newcomb. I think one of the 2 will work out well

I think that is where he ends up personally. But I am pulling for him to put it together and know how to use those sharp breakers as a starter.

Got in some trouble in the fifth. Back to back singles had B on 1st and 3rd no outs. K’d Next guy. Intentionally walked Ray. Then K’d the next two. Probably done with 70 pitches. 9 Ks

64% strikes. Ended up with three walks but one was the intentional one you mentioned. I’m encouraged.

2019 lineup

Swanson/Albies/Freeman/Harper/Acuna/Camargo/Flozuki/inciarte

With riley/Jackson waiting in AAA

Guy can dream right?

Need to go check box score. Seemed Ray owned him tonight. Otherwise he was really good

Touki’s peripherals were better than his numbers last year. I think he’s making progress. Still has those big tools.

Alex Jackson is interesting. His defense might not play anywhere so his bat probably determines whether he’ll force his way.

His defense looked passable in ST but that's may not cut it for a full season in the big and I'm not sure if it's smart to have a suspect defensive catcher with a young staff.

Doesn’t necessarily figure to be an opening in left either.

Braves probably address that for at least a few years this offseason.

But if crushes I guess they can find a way to live with it.

Riley again. Long bomb on a hanging changuep.

Wonder how long he stays at AA

[bravesfanMatt]

Wonder how long he stays at AA

He is usualy a slow starter. Good sign

[bravesfanMatt]

Ugh Forgot about the ****ing horrible minor league extra inning rule. What a disgrace

[bravesfanMatt]

Btw. Brothers still sucks balls.

Dude has been a stud the second he was drafted. That 2015 draft man...

Looked more passable than Perez

[msstate7]

Why was camargo pulled? Catching a plane?

[JxnMissFan]

One thing that might be interesting to compare would be Riley and Jackson's swing this year v. last years. I've only been to one MS game this year but it appeared to me that both guys swing was more of a fly ball type swing. Maybe they have always had a fly ball swing but both guys seem to be hitting more doubles and Hr's so far this year. I may be wrong about this but I'm sure we have a poster here smart enough to answer this.

Acuna 1-6, 2 k
Season: 27 PA 10 k

Soroka is a freakin stud. This is Toukis make it or break it year to be a starter imo. He could be a closer coming out of the bullpen.
