Soroka… 1. Really does not need to throw another pitch in this game and its going to irritate me that he likely will (and he is, man screw you Snitker). 2. Shouldn't make his next start, even though it could be conceding losing to Washington for 1 game in that next series from the jump.

Hot take: If you want to try to not skip starts, just hook Soroka here. It's obvious to me over the last 4 that he's finally running into that wall.

sadly, yes. He was slowing down before then but then just halted and fell off the cliff. One of the things that I think he needs is a hug from Snitker in reality lol. The interesting thing is that while Soroka's last right start hasn't been for a while, Fried, who hasn't even gone 150+ seems...

I honestly thought Soroka got gassed after 3 last time out. His stuff looked great until then and a lot better than it did in Toronto and then he slammed into the wall. Those two innings compiled with today's start might mean he misses his next start for rest. Definitely not the old days where...

Ump blocked him giving Flowers a clear slide signal. Also, if you're going to pinch run, why are you not doing it earlier? You have 3 catchers for a reason. Only reason to not pinch run would be Cervelli being more hurt than let on.

Yeah but the reason I'm saying this debate doesn't matter is that he told ESPN that he felt stupid and wrong for doing it months later, and as long as he's manager, he's not leaving the leadoff spot again. It also doesn't really matter as AA said a few times he'd actually have preferred to just...

This debate overall doesn't really matter, at least for now because Snitker told ESPN back during the last Nationals series that he's never moving Acuna from leadoff again as long as he's manager. Now the front office might end up "nudging" him about that eventually, but we heard for a lot of...

Pache ended up putting up 57 XBH in his age 20 season across two levels higher than Ender putting up 25 XBH at A ball. To make it a little wild, that’s more than the 43 that Ender put up in his career year in MLB. There’s your difference. Ender used to be a good comp for Pache when it looked...

Soroka, Folty, and pray like hell I suppose since I'd be very iffy with Keuchel going. No really, might have gotten Ryu but this series has shown about no real good signs. It's not like what it was with 2018 but even still you'd like your lefties to show competence against this lineup and...

A lot like the Nationals game where the early parts of the game for Soroka were fine. Then got jumped over in the 5th. Let's see if there is an adjustment, but despite low PC I'd yank him after the 6th probably.

Given that the Twins went lefty heavy on Soroka, I'm not surprised about them getting ball in the air. He's probably changed his approach and is throwing a lot more changeup (or something?) in an attempt to neutralize it.

Yeah based off a post I finally was able to dig up about 30 minutes ago, I "think" Pache's agent announced him going to AAA on Instagram and he confirmed it on his Instagram story based off what I see now. Based off Waters not being in the lineup and then Anderson's start being moved, they...

You're kidding yourself... Vazquez wasn't really available. They were just shopping to try to get a stupid offer from him, not something like just Wright/Wilson. There's rumors that they were scouting our farm to try to get Pache AANNDD Waters for Vazquez. So yes, Vazquez wasn't available and...

It was going to be Riley. But it sounds like an excellent chance it's Camargo now. No sugarcoating it, Johan played his way out of the major leagues since Dansby's been out. And so that's likely going to mean more of Riley not getting PAs he needs, but they don't consider him an important...

It was another one of those Marcus Stroman like deals. They were absolutely DEMANDING more from the Braves and a couple other teams, then simply traded him low for parts. Bad business, but teams do that.

At this point, it's probably not happening because of how beyond trash Johan's been. Johan hitting like a pitcher for the last 11 games and playing bad defense is going to get him optioned out when Dansby's ready.

I thought Shane looked fine outside of 1 bad pitch. I think we just have "The Curse of the Atlanta 9th inning" this year. Everyone that pitches then is going to give up soft hits at times and are gonna like it.

I think 11:30 was about the breaking point last time. So, let's see how it looks then.

….it hasn't been soft contact outside of that 1st batter of the second.

Soroka is a very unreliable bunter fwiw. Trying to squeeze there would've risked him missing the bunt (which he has plenty) and then leading to there being 2 outs. He'd have been better off just holding on to the bat and heading to the dugout.
