Glad they gave him some run support, big strikeout by Allard with that runner at third to keep it 2-1 after 6 innings. I wonder if that triple was legit or bad defense? I know Carrera is bad on defense, that's why I wonder. He is known for his bat in other words.Originally Posted by ball4life32
Was wondering that too. Allard’s finishes
7 ip, 6 h, 1 r, 2 bb, 4 so
ERA - 2.25
Pretty damn good for a 20 year old in AAA. Think we could see him up at some point this year.

Allard shut down a good line-up tonight too. They have three hitters hitting over .324 and he had no problem. He threw 92 pitches to get through 7 innings, great work.
No win for Allard again as bullpen blows it in the 9th, G-Braves lose 3-2. Ravin takes the loss.
He sucks - can't pitch if you're not touching 95.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
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?
Isn't he the guy that reportedly could run it up close to triple digits in college?
Uggg literally no one has said that. You and thethe are the worst at actually listening and reading comprehension.

He only played half season ball and was changing mechanics.
Seriously?
You're obviously not reading the same posts that keep talking about all those "in the know" bailing on Kolby and about how those that continue to have him as a Top 100 guy have no idea what they're talking about.
Why does someone referencing numbers only ruffle people when they don't match up to what you like? The point is that he's not blowing people away, but apparently he's as good as any other kid his age pitching at that level - for whatever reason.
Again, I understand why people don't consider him a big-time prospect, but there aren't many of those big-time prospects doing what he's doing as 20 year-olds in AAA either.

The concern with Allard is the LOST velocity
But, there are VERY few pitchers who get buy on <90's fastball in their 20s... give me a list
Jaw (05-04-2018)
"He just knows how to pitch pitchers" can still work, but they're more likely to be number three starters at most than aces with the way things have changed today unless they have decent velocity. I don't necessarily mean that they have to be flamethrowers as they do not, but they need to at least average 92-93.
Allard would be a definite sell high for me, sorry. Not this year though but after a couple full years in the major league rotation.
Soroka on the other hand...he's the guy that can and will work and could be an ace. He's a "he just knows how to pitch pitcher", but if a 95 MPH sinker at it's top is sustainable for him, he actually has legit top of the rotation stuff (maybe not true ace though). Even if not, he's a safe MOR that will be for a long time.
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.
No one has said Allard can't be successful because he can't hit 95 which is what you said. Again... reading comprehension problems.... actually your comment hinted at people on this board saying no pitcher can be successful if they can't touch 95. So again... literally NO ONE has said that or come close to that.

Sakowski says bacon was hitting 99 last summer
bacon got some sizzle
Wouldn't surprise me to see him fast tracked. He and Riley were Mississippi state signees, so you know they legit haha
didn't realize he was a college guy. yeah i'd think a college RP could move fast
Juco guy. Signed with state, but apparently the braves offered him more haha
I think he was supposed to go to college. But use college loosely when talking about ssippi schools.
Coppy

He attended Santa Fe junior college, so he had learned more there they we at miss state could ever teach him
