GDT: Cards @ Braves 5/15

[thethe]

I expect everyone to have realistic expectations for Riley moving forward lol

Would you expect anything less from me?

God I am so impressed with how Soroka doesn’t mind pitching to contact.

 

[jsebe10]

I wonder what the record for longest first HR is.

770 ft....

Soroka induces a bunch of weak grounders

But can he hit homers and lead off?

 

[thethe]

Barring health issues soroka will have a few seasons at 230+ innings

Im fairly sure he could lead off...

Not going to lie...Chip’s call on the Riley was 400 x better than Boog, Ross, and Chipper.

It is a little sexy for this old Brave fan.

Riley’s hands were SO quick on that homer.

 

[CyYoung31]

And that's down the drain!! What's your next best guess??

0-for-the rest of the game.

 

[CyYoung31]

IIRC Heyward's was 472

I believe it was later corrected to be 477.

Riley’s hands were SO quick on that homer.

that's how he gets that launch angle and exit velocity

 

[TheBravos]

Riley murdered that ball...holy crap.

Riley is a perfect example of a prospect most of us would be willing to move...he might end up being one of best hitters of the bunch. He has gotten better each year.

Riley caught up to a center cut 90 mph fastball.

Let's not pretend like we can analyze his swing mechanics or future based on that haha.

I do look forward to quoting these comments in about a month.

They are just excited about the kid, but you cannot help being an asshole. You're pathetic.

Good walk. Dont need to give into goldy there

I'm just giving folks a hard time, but you cannot help being a whiny little baby. You're pathetic.

I’m obviously a huge Max Fried fan but Soroka may be a legit ace. He’s just so composed and knows how to get outs.
