This thread is about Soroka. Half the threads on the first page are about Camargo not playing already. Can we just enjoy this?

Yeah, and 8 other players. I'm as excited to see albies and acuna lead off the game against an mlb elite as I am about our stud rookie pitcher. There are many things in every game that interest me. Never knew game threads had to follow one subject only /rant

Figured it was the daily thread to complain about Camargo not playing. Dude has literally complained about it in every single game day thread since Camargo has been healthy.

Kinda like those "remember when..." posts. Annoying aren't they?

I suppose with the sinker Soroka likes to pitch down, so probably better be careful with Cespedes.

Cespedes shouldn't be in the line-up this series, at least not tonight. Hurt his hand on a slide into 3B in the last game.

i would guess Soroka will be amped/nervous tonight...might not be the most representative picture of who he is as a pitcher

I expect to see a few fastballs with some extra juice early. It won't stop people from saying, "Wow, Soroka throws 96!!!!".

control will probably be off some the first inning or two

96 with control problems? sounds like folty

Various medieval Irish abbeys argue otherwise.

Cabrera
Conforto
Cespedes
Bruce
Frazier
Gonzalez
Rosario
Nido

the Irish may have lost the ground war...but a close examination of modern Scandinavian Y chromosome haplogroup distribution indicates they won in other ways

He pulled a Freddie on us!

Soroka should fit nicely into the Golden Wrens era: his name means “magpie” in Eastern Ashkenazic.
