MINORS FINAL MONDAY 4/23/18: Two DHs, no rainouts

[Enscheff]

The haste is honestly the oddest part, even more than the dicey position-change.

They are treating him like some QO guy who waited until the season started to sign a 1 year pillow contract and they can't get him in the lineup soon enough.

It really is odd.

Acuna picked off second.....don't extent him

[bravesfanforlife88]

Soroka goes 3 up 3 down...a few ground outs and a fly out....

[bravesfanforlife88]

Bautista 0-2 with a flyout and strikeout

[Ozzie Swanson]

Soroka with 3.0 IP 3 H 0 R 0 ER 1 BB 1 K so far. 34 pitches with 23 strikes and a 6:0 GB/FB ratio.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Acuna with a walk in his second AB. Then he steals second base on the first pitch. Also just stole 3rd base.

Just stole third too. 3 stolen bases already.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Hopefully he is starting to heat up....

In his last 10 games he is hitting .279 with 1 HR, 6 BB, 12K, 4 Steals

That's including his base hit, 3 steals, and walk today

[Braves1976]

Have to think at this point he is more of an organizational filler until the offseason when he is not brought back....

Totally disagree, Sims is not even as old as Wisler and still has a few option years left.

Acuna started slow last year too. So probably nothing to worry about. Hopefully he gets hot and stays hot and replaces PB soon.

[Braves1976]

Soroka with 3.0 IP 3 H 0 R 0 ER 1 BB 1 K so far. 34 pitches with 23 strikes and a 6:0 GB/FB ratio.

He's going to be a good one IMO.

How many PA? I'd still like to see that k% (~30% for the season) come down a bit more.

It really is odd.

It would make more sense if they were close to trading Markakis and want Joey Bats to platoon with Tucker at some point.

[salmagundy]

Bautista now 0-3, Acuna GO 5-3 with runner at 2B, now 1-2 with a BBs

[Ozzie Swanson]

Soroka might be ready. Kid has been dominating AAA so far.

[bravesfanMatt]

Soroka is just a bad ass. One of his walks was complete bs ****ty umpiring. But even still you just knew he would get the grounder to get out of trouble.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Soroka's final line

7IP (CG) 3H 0R 3BB 4K 1.99 ERA

[Heyward]

Soroka is a keeper, legit #2/3.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Soroka is a keeper, legit #2/3.

Not a terrible stat line, and it seemed like he may not have had his best stuff.

[thethe]

Soroka may be up the day after super 2 eligibility.
