MINORS FRIDAY 5/12: All Night Games for a Change

Lots of extra base power in AJax bat. What makes him not a top 100 prospect at this point?

He has only done it one month, isn't walking much and has no clear defensive position. I'm optimistic about what he has done this season, but the top 100 prospect talk is crazy right now.
 
We're safe to talk about it now. Holy crap, Soroka. Perfect game lost in the 7th, finishes with 2 base runners in 6.2, 5 K. Uhhhh

There you go. Williams Perez and rob Whalen... do I have to name more before you posi-braves realize none of these pitchers except maybe allard with ever be a 1 WAR/5th starter?
 
Hursh demoted?

I bet we can write that cat off. He blew through his first season in milb, but there hasn't been much since.
 
Despite the calm demeanor and relaxed personality you'd come to expect from a Calgary native, Mike Soroka is never too aloof to be oblivious when he's heading full speed toward a milestone.

"If you don't know what's going on, I would say you're probably not paying attention," the 19-year-old said. "Guys in the dugout kept it loose, and that's the way I like it. I'm not one of those guys that has to sit in the corner when he starts."

Gameday box score

The Braves' fourth-ranked prospect carried a perfect game into the seventh and yielded just one hit over 6 2/3 innings Friday in Double-A Mississippi's 6-1 victory over Mobile at Trustmark Park. The second-youngest player in the circuit struck out five in his first scoreless outing since his Southern League debut on April 10, lowering his ERA to 2.84.

"It was just kind of resetting, last few outings, I wouldn't say I struggled, but sometimes things don't go your way and you just got to keep battling through that," Soroka said. "We just kind of set the game plan and seeing the glove and attack it with my best stuff. Balls were hit to guys ..."
