4/29 GDT Soroka vs Padres

[salmagundy]

I'm beginning to really enjoy Jeff in the booth. His discussion on Acuna's bat angle as the reason for his bat speed slowing down was on target.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Quick, someone post a graphic.

We do play the fish next. They will if nothing else.

 

[Braves1976]

Duvall has hit a homer and an rbi-triple tonight. Damn. Lol

when he gets hot he does hit a lot of homers, good to see.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Pinch hit.

 

[msstate7]

Not sure about this one. Maybe taking it easy on shoulder

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Pinch hit.

I was joking btw. I wanted Soroka to keep pitching.

 

[BeanieAntics]

Guys our starting pitcher is out of the game... someone hold me I'm scared.

 

[drewdat]

This is the right move, not confident in the result though

 

[Heyward]

Not keen on pulling Soroka here, he was dealing, and the pen is gassed.

Probably. But man he looked comfortable out there.

This is a smart move considering Soroka’s shoulder and high pitch count last game, plus our pen will need as big a cushion as possible.

 

[USMA76]

If Culberson doesn't come through here, it's time to pucker up.

 

[Braves1976]

Soroka is our best starter going forward if he stays healthy.

Agree.

Given his shoulder, and high PC last game, i dont hate it.

Dont have much confidence in the pen though.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Damn I thought that was some runs.

 

[mossy]

Glad we pulled Soroka for a gamble. Is there any rain that can bail out the pen?

 

[Runnin]

I'd rather let Soroka hit with the bases loaded and throw 2 more innings than deal with the pen for 4 innings.

 

[USMA76]

Given Soroka's status and the game situation, the move had to be made but it'll now be an ulcer-fest for the next nine outs.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Ugh. I get pulling him for the situation but that’s tough. Pumped to lose now! Lol
