GDT: 5/01/2018 Braves @ Mets (Rise of Soroka)

[GeorgiaGirl]

Luckily Gonzalez runs slow.

 

[chop2chip]

Smart move for Albies to force the DP attempt. Looked initially he was going to just go to first.

 

[Braves1976]

Great job kid!

 

[Heyward]

Huge DP, but Soroka may be tiring a little bit.

 

[msstate7]

Our MIF is good at DPs

 

[Enscheff]

I am thinking that Acuna might have gotten out of his good hitting habits now that we see him to try to impress the boss. His swing works unless he's going too hard even if it's long.

He got back into them, and now he's here...it'll be interesting to see what happens when we see an inevitable slump. Does he get back out of whack, or does he keep with it?

He will struggle at some point.

Doesn’t matter. He is legit.

 

[Heyward]

Really good major upgrades?

He’s not a bad defender. Aa has Bautista at 3b

Eventually Camargo will be the full-time 3B, who knows when.

But Moose has a rather decent salary and i dont see AA trading prospects for a rental with Riley up sometime next year.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

get used to those DP... Soroka is a master with that power sinker.

 

[Russ2dollas]

Adrenaline might be wearing with soroka.

Sometimes pitchers make mistakes and hitters hit. Doesn’t have to be a reason

Come on Swanson...hit.

 

[GovClintonTyree]

**** YES
DOUBLE PLAY
WOOOOO

 

[chop2chip]

Six groundouts, 4 strikeouts for Soroka through 4. That dog will hunt.

Love it

 

[bravesfanMatt]

atta boy Dans...

would be great if Acuna can hit this inning..

 

[GovClintonTyree]

Let him go nine

Potentially a third inning with Inciarte leading off while giving the most AB's to Albies/Acuna?

I'll take it.

I’m not giving up a top 15 guy

My premise for moose is
1. Limited market for him
2. They can’t get the draft pick anymore

So maybe they take the poo poo platter of Ruiz wisler etc

 

[thethe]

soroka making contract three times against arguably a top 5 pitcher.

 

[Enscheff]

Soroka May have hit yet again with a runner on base, but the good news is Ender is leading off

I love this new lineup!!!

 

[chop2chip]

We have hit the snot out of the ball against Thor. Missed opportunity to not be up more.
