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

[chop2chip]

Less than 50 percent odds the bullpen can hold a 2 run lead? Feels like we need a couple insurance runs if we are going to pull this out.

 

[Hawk]

albies just keeps leaving me speechless

 

[sturg33]

That needs to be it for the kid... got very lucky... but great stuff and composure

 

[msstate7]

Nice debut... fortunate debut also

 

[jpx7]

Cespedes was always going to be the dude what burned ‘em.

 

[chop2chip]

Old man slugging Cespedes is such s classic Mets player.

 

[Southcack77]

Nice debut kid.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Mets broadcasters called Neck Nick McCarcus and Jason Markakis that inning.

 

[Heyward]

Good debute but he started getting hit hard last couple innings.

Hope the pen can hold it.

 

[chop2chip]

I still think he can become a starting level player like I've always said. But hey - While you bring that up I'm sure you'll talk about the many players I got right (which for bbal was much more than I got wrong).

Actual thethe quote:
“I wouldn’t trade Ibaka for Harden straight up”

That... is classic thethe

HT to [MENTION=61]BRule[/MENTION]22

 

[nsacpi]

That needs to be it for the kid... got very lucky... but great stuff and composure

with the airplane travel and all i think he did great...leaned pretty hard on the fastball tonight

Braves announcers are playing the jinx, everything they run their mouths about is backfiring this inning.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I would let him go another..

 

[Russ2dollas]

Why would Anibal Sanchez and his mediocre stuff be a good fit for the pen if his good work so far isn’t enough to keep him in rotation? Send him to AAA or release him.

Bc you need a long guy or a two inning guy with a lot of Young pitchers. Young pitchers are inefficient and are on pitch and innings limits.

Hit vs his 88 after facing 95.

Plus it’s a bullpen arm. There are like 10 predictable no arms in baseball

Laughable to me to have a million pitchers and then we trade for hand. They are going to want more for hand than it would take to get moose.

I’m not giving up Wilson or touki for a pen arm

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

I would let him go another..

No way. He's been getting hit hard the last few innings, the bullpen has a day of rest, and you want him to leave his first start feeling good.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

unless his spot comes up with runners on again..

 

[BeanieAntics]

I would let Soroka go one more. As hard as he was hit that last inning, I still have relative confidence that he will be able to lock it up in the 7th. At least more confidence then I do in most of the bullpen. Soroka throws strikes.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Hell of a start, man.

 

[Braves1976]

I would let him go another..

Me too, bottom of the order and only 80 pitches. Plus their first hitter if gets to top has had issues with him.

And here I am dining on the rich delicacy which is the Mets broadcast.
