4/18 GDT Soroka vs DBacks

Can someone explain the nuances of the strategy there to PH for the pitcher instead of just letting him hit and then taking him out after? Not sure I’m getting it.

Nobody here can explain it, or they would be an NL manager.

Complex strategies like this are why the DH must not be allowed in the NL.
 
Now the DBacks seem to have mastered the complex strategy of sending a guy up to hit for the SP.

Amazing!! It's like 4D chess out there!! Much more exciting than any DH!!

Soroka lost some velocity as the game went on but still sat 93-94 for the game, got a ton of whiffs on the fastball (15%) because he can place it, slider got 11 called or swinging strikes in 30, and the change got 6 in 15. Great start, he’s the best bet to stick in that rotation.
